you & me
The stunning Saheefa Jabbar Khattak needs no introduction as the model has been making waves ever since she stepped in the fashion industry in 2015. Her bold and witty stance in terms of style has made heads turn left, right and centre, regardless of the society's tough criticism. Belonging to a Pashtoon family, Khattak was born in the city of Lahore and completed her education from the same. This young and charming lass has an Honours in Business/Economics from Beaconhouse National University (BNU); and today, she is one of the promising models in Pakistan.
Saheefa entered the fashion industry nearly two years ago with her first modelling project with 'Nishat Linen'. After that, she has worked with almost every top designer in Pakistan - whether it is shoots or walking the ramp for numerous coveted fashion shows - including Misha Lakhani, Shiza Hassan, Ali Xeeshan, Zahra Ahmad, Fahad Hussayn, Maria.B and Azeem Sani to name a few. She has modelled for many well-known brands as well, such as Khaadi Khaas, Cynosure, Ethnic by Outfitters, March by Ali Merch, Sapphire, Alkaram, 9Lines, Suffuse, Hush Puppies, Cresent, Crossroad and many more. Apart from her modelling gigs, she has been featured in TV commercials too like Mobilink and Nestle Nescafe.
On the ramp of Sunsilk Fashion Week 2017, Saheefa Jabbar stood out among her peers, rocking her sexy pixie cut. Moreover, the brunette has received a 'QMobile Rising Star' award at the QMobile Style Awards. Last year, the model tied the knot with her beau in a chic wedding - which was the talk of the town itself - and currently she is all set to debut as an actor in the drama serial 'Teri Meri Kahani'.
