Grazia

Being the first of the magazines acquired at the end of the outing noticed at reference 1.

Glossy magazine of 75 pages, costing PKR250, about 138 of our pence at today's exchange rate. This one from June, 2018.

Mainly pictures with a very modest amount of copy, this concentrated on ten hot stories. The third of which was about the acquittal in Lahore, on appeal, of a young man accused of stabbing a young lady 23 times in retaliation for her refusing his advances. Doesn't appear to be much doubt that he did the deed. Plenty of fashion. Lots of faces and fancy fabrics, bit low on flesh by our standards. On the other hand, virtually no head coverings for ladies, very little Islamic dress at all.

Plenty of lifestyle accessories, particularly watches but also yachts and apartments.

Reference 2: http://www.graziainternational.com/. Presumably the home port. Seemingly part of Mondadori International Business SRL.

Reference 3: http://www.grazia.pk/. The Pakistan branch. Seemingly published and printed in Lahore, under license, by Saif publishing.

Reference 4: http://www.graziainternational.com/edition/pakistan/. Or should it be this one?
