Maria B shares her take on farshi shalwar fashion trend
Listen to article
There has been a lot of buzz on social media recently about the fashion trend of the "Farshi Shalwar." However, Fashion designer Maria B. clarified in a new video who can pull off this style and who should avoid it.
While the Farshi Shalwar has become a trend and even part of meme culture, many are now eager to wear it for Eid al-Fitr. However, Maria B. pointed out that this trend may not be suitable for women of all body types.
In her video message, Maria B. shared her thoughts on which women can embrace this trend. She explained that the fashion is more suited to tall, slim, and younger women.
She mentioned that she could see her daughter wearing the floor-touching shalwar regularly, but at the age of 43, she would not adopt this style herself.
Maria also emphasised that this fashion might not be flattering for women of a more mature age or those with shorter stature and fuller figures. Instead, tall and slim young girls are more likely to look stylish in it.
Since Maria B. herself has a fuller figure, she showcased four different outfits in her video – two featuring the Farshi Shalwar and two with cigarette pants. It was evident that Maria looked more elegant in the cigarette pants ensemble.

Lil Wayne reunites with Drake and Nicki Minaj on genre-bending Carter VI album
Lil Wayne's long-anticipated Tha Carter VI has officially arrived, marking the return of one of hip-hop's most celebrated series. Released at midnight on June 6, the 19-track album showcases Wayne's lyrical agility and genre-bending ambition, reaffirming his position as a creative force. Tha Carter VI reunites the iconic Young Money trio—Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne—for the first time in years, igniting nostalgia while pushing forward. But the album reaches far beyond familiar brings together an eclectic lineup, featuring MGK, Miley Cyrus, Andrea Bocelli, Bono, Wyclef Jean, and even his teenage son Kameron Carter. The result is a genre-fluid blend of hip-hop, rock, opera, and pop. Critics have praised the album's dynamic range. Billboard's Michael Saponara highlighted standouts like the operatic 'Maria' featuring Bocelli, the introspective 'Bein Myself' with Mannie Fresh, and the powerful closer 'Written History,' which samples a 1974 Muhammad Ali speech. Wayne's lyrical introspection shines through, particularly on tracks where he reflects on fame, family, and survival. To mark the release, Wayne headlined Madison Square Garden for the first time in his career, debuting cuts from the album and officially launching Tha Carter VI Tour. The North American run resumes in late June with support from Tyga, NoCap, and a long-awaited Hot Boys reunion. In a press statement, Wayne said: 'Real art can't be rushed… This album is for the ones who've been riding with me through all Tha Carters. C6 is here. I'm just being myself.' With Tha Carter VI, Wayne doesn't just revisit his legacy—he redefines it.

Turkish influencer accuses Maria B of evading payment
In posts shared on Instagram on Sunday, Turkish content creator Türkan Atay accused Pakistani clothing brand Maria B for evading payment that the influencer claims the two parties agreed on. Türkan began by mentioning that she shot a reel for the brand in Istanbul earlier this year and negotiated her terms. "Basically, for shooting in Istanbul, the cost is divided based on the shoot's location, videography, video editing, and so on. So I gave them a price per outfit. They even agreed to it. I have all the messages," she said. Once the video was done, however, Türkan claimed that the brand backtracked by not giving her the discussed amount, prompting her to reach out. "So I said, 'Look, this isn't what we talked about. We agreed on a 'per outfit' payment. The messages clearly state that.' They told me, 'Oh, sorry. There's been a misunderstanding. We pay international influencers on a 'per reel' basis." The content creator assured her followers that she was not doing this out of desperation for money but for self-respect. "I've been going over this with them for 3 months now," she said. "The amount isn't even all that much for you. Just give me my due payment, and I'll give it to those who deserve it. And I will never collaborate with you again." In a follow-up video, Türkan shared screenshots of her communication with the brand's executives. She claimed that her politeness was only met with disregard. "It's not about money, it's about being respectful to the people you collaborate with." In response, the official account of Maria B took to Instagram Stories to issue a statement regarding the matter. Priding its transparent partnership with the digital community, the brand said, "Over the years, we have successfully collaborated with hundreds of influencers and content creators, ensuring fair compensation and mutual respect in all engagements. And we are proudly known for our best payment practices. In our 25 years, we have neither withheld payment nor retracted from our commitments." The statement added that the recent controversy "was a regrettable misunderstanding that we were committed to resolve." However, the brand denied the accusation of withholding payment. "A meeting had been set up to address the issue, but the influencer chose to make a defaming reel instead of accepting to resolve the issue amicably," the statement further read. "We regret the misunderstanding. We remain committed to supporting the creative community and continuing to build respectful, transparent relationships with all our collaborators."

Maria B served legal notice by Turkish influencer for unpaid dues
Listen to article Pakistani designer Maria B is facing legal action from Turkish influencer Türkan Atay, who has accused the brand of failing to fully compensate her for work on a campaign shoot in Türkiye earlier this year. Atay, who is married to a Pakistani and affectionately known online as 'Pakistani Bhabhi,' issued a legal notice on Thursday demanding $8,000 in unpaid dues and a formal public apology. The sum includes the outstanding campaign payment, legal costs, and compensation for mental distress. Atay alleges she was hired to manage a shoot for Maria B's 2025 collection and was promised payment per outfit, inclusive of production costs. However, she claims the brand later issued a lump-sum payment, citing a misunderstanding. 'To support her claims, Atay shared alleged screenshots of messages with the brand's PR manager. 'Per outfit with touristic location and professional video [redacted] USD,'' she wrote in one message. The manager reportedly responded with an admission: 'God knows how I missed the per outfit part.' The dispute has since become a public spat. Atay posted a series of Instagram videos asserting that she had been negotiating for three months, only to be blocked by Maria B on social media. 'She cannot bear to apologise. That's why she has blocked me and other people,' Atay claimed. In a video response, Maria B blamed the issue on a 'junior PR girl' and stated, 'At Maria B, we don't throw people under the bus.' She added that Atay had received clothes worth 'lacs' and rejected offers to settle privately. The brand has called the situation a 'payment misunderstanding,' criticising Atay's videos as 'defamatory content.' A formal statement noted, 'Full payment was offered, and multiple attempts were made to resolve the matter privately.' The legal notice, filed on April 24, claims the influencer has suffered reputational harm and financial loss due to 'baseless and defamatory' allegations made by the brand. It warns that failure to meet the demands within seven days may result in legal proceedings.
