Aisha Hossain's Selhaya abayas are all you will ever need
Summer looks better in silk Summer demands more than beauty. It calls for breathability, weightlessness, and clothes that feel good on the skin, even when temperatures hit 40°C. That's where Selhaya comes in: a British-born luxury abaya Maison that proves elegance and comfort don't have to be opposites. Founded by London-based entrepreneur Aisha Hossain, Selhaya is intentionally slow, quietly powerful, and rooted in purpose. It wasn't created to follow trends. It was built for women who want to dress with meaning and invest in pieces that last. Why silk is the only fabric you need this season Most mass-market abayas use synthetic blends like nida or polyester satin. These may look smooth online, but in real life? They trap heat, cling to the body, and create discomfort in warm climates. Selhaya works exclusively with 100% pure silk or silk-linen blends, natural fibres that are thermoregulating, hypoallergenic, and effortlessly breathable. Silk keeps the body cool in heat, warm in cooler air, and feels light against the skin. The difference isn't just visible. It's wearable. Synthetic satin: Shiny, stiff, clings to skin, traps moisture. Selhaya silk: Soft, flowing, naturally breathable. Designed to age beautifully. This isn't just fabric. It's a philosophy. Fashion that slows down on purpose Selhaya doesn't do fast drops or seasonal churn. Each collection is released as a limited capsule, drawn from emotion, memory, or a place that shaped the founder's worldview. Pieces are designed in-house, refined by hand, and produced in small batches only. Instead of click-and-buy, clients are invited to register their interest. This registry model slows down the shopping experience and encourages women to choose with care. The result? Fewer, better garments, pieces that stay with you. Supplied via Aisha Hossain, Founder of Selhaya Modest wear that moves with you From quiet reflection to milestone travels, Selhaya robes are worn for meaningful moments. They aren't just outfits. They become part of your personal archive. Every order arrives with a collector card and thoughtful packaging, a tactile reminder that luxury isn't about display. It's about how something makes you feel. Meet Aisha Hossain, the woman behind the house Aisha didn't come from fashion. She came from a career in commercial policy. And that's exactly what makes Selhaya different. The Maison is founder-led, self-funded, and built on values that extend far beyond style. From fabric sourcing to packaging, she's involved in every decision. Selhaya also gives back quietly. Five percent of every sale supports orphan care, gifted in the client's name. It's not a campaign. It's simply part of how the Maison moves: with intention. Supplied A new way to think about luxury Selhaya isn't just about modest fashion. It's about changing the way clothing is valued. In a world that pushes quantity, Selhaya champions quality, presence, and purpose. One great piece. One strong choice. That's what modern elegance looks like. So when summer arrives and you need something that breathes, flows, and holds meaning, start with silk. Start with Selhaya.

Food delivery apps given UK asylum hotel locations in crackdown on illegal working
The British government will share the locations of hotels housing asylum seekers with food delivery companies in a bid to crack down on illegal working. The Home Office announced the measure after reports of emerged of migrants working illegally for Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat in central London. Asylum seekers are not allowed to work during their first 12 months in the UK, or until their application is approved. However, they have been able to work for delivery apps through legal workers giving them access to their accounts in return for a fee. The new agreement with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats will allow them to identify if an account spends a lot of time near one of the hotels, which could suggest illegal working. It will help them uncover abuse on their platforms and suspend accounts. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the measures come alongside a 50 per cent increase in raids and arrests for illegal working. 'Illegal working undermines honest business, exploits vulnerable individuals and fuels organised immigration crime,' she said. 'By enhancing our data sharing with delivery companies, we are taking decisive action to close loopholes and increase enforcement.' The three delivery companies were recently summoned for talks with the Home Office after measures introduced earlier this year were still failing to filter out illegal workers. In response they introduced enhanced right to work checks, including facial recognition, which has already resulted in thousands of drivers being barred from using apps. Footage released by the Home Office shows drivers being stopped by immigration enforcement officers and having their IDs checked. Drivers were then seen being taken into custody, including one in handcuffs. Eddy Montgomery, Director of Enforcement, Compliance and Crime at the Home Office, said: 'This next step of co-ordinated working with delivery firms will help us target those who seek to work illegally in the gig economy and exploit their status in the UK. 'My teams will continue to carry out increased enforcement activity across the UK and I welcome this additional tool to disrupt and stop the abuse of our immigration system.' Ministers have promised a 'nationwide blitz' to target migrants working illegally as part of efforts to deter people from coming to the UK from France. Officials hope to tackle the 'pull factors' attracting migrants, alongside the deal struck by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron this month to send some people who reach England in small boats back to France. More than 23,500 migrants have arrived in the UK after crossing the English Channel so far in 2025, a record for this point in the year.
