  • Azorte makes mid moments the new cool with Gen Z fashion campaign

    Azorte makes mid moments the new cool with Gen Z fashion campaign

    MUMBAI: In a world obsessed with extremes, Azorte is flipping the script on what it means to be “mid”. The fashion and lifestyle destination, one of India’s fastest-growing, has launched its Autumn Winter 2025 campaign, “You’re Not Mid, You’re Just in the Middle of Your Story,” starring hindi movie’s fresh faces Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina. The campaign’s mantra is clear: mid isn’t mediocre, it’s momentum, the stumble before the stride.

    The narrative strikes a chord with Gen Z, a generation constantly haunted by the pressure to stand out, chase virality, and curate perfection. Azorte reframes these so-called “average” moments as essential steps in the messy journey of self-discovery, confidence, and authentic style. It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress.

    Through a visually arresting brand film crafted by Famous Innovations and directed by Anish Dedhia, the campaign captures the chaos and charm of real life. From dance reels that don’t always land to late nights spent dreaming of what’s next, Khushi and Vedang embody the raw, in-between moments that shape identity. Each frame celebrates bold styling, experimentation, and unapologetic self-expression, reinforcing the brand’s message that “authentic beats perfect every time.”

    Azorte head of marketing for Dhaval Doshi explained, “Gen Zs are tired of the pressure to be perfect. They want brands that understand their raw, in-progress selves. This campaign says you don’t need to have it all figured out. With expressive capsules and a narrative that celebrates imperfection, Azorte creates a safe space for young Indians to explore, evolve, and express themselves unapologetically.”

    The campaign also taps into what Azorte calls “Self-Assured Relevance.” Today’s youth value being in sync with the world yet remain confident even if recognition doesn’t immediately follow. Being “in the middle” of their journey isn’t failure, it’s the process of becoming. This philosophy underpins the brand’s design, storytelling, and store experiences, transforming each touchpoint into a celebration of the journey, not just the destination.

    Rollout spans digital platforms, social media, OTT, OOH, and in-store experiences, with Azorte stores themselves becoming immersive hubs where customers can explore their style narratives in real-time. Fans can also experience the full world of Azorte on the go at azorte.ajio.com.

    With this campaign, Azorte positions itself not just as a fashion destination, but as a cultural companion for Gen Z, one that encourages embracing the “mid” moments, celebrating the messy, the bold, and the authentic, and finding confidence in the journey itself. After all, in the middle is where the magic happens.

  • Myntra launches outdoor for FWD with tongue-in-cheek campaign

    Myntra launches outdoor for FWD with tongue-in-cheek campaign

    Mumbai: Myntra, India’s premier fashion, beauty, and lifestyle e-commerce platform, has unveiled its outdoor campaign, #SpotItGetIt, in collaboration with Ideas Farm, to celebrate FWD – the ultimate trend destination for Gen-Z fashion enthusiasts. This strategic initiative builds upon the recent film starring Myntra’s brand ambassadors, Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina.

    FWD, an innovative platform introduced by Myntra, empowers users with an unmatched shopping journey. With just a picture uploaded on Myntra FWD, users can effortlessly transform their fashion inspiration into reality by exploring and acquiring the complete ensembles showcased anywhere or even on someone else. This revolutionary concept takes center stage in the #SpotItGetIt campaign, nudging users to shift their gaze from mere headlines to embracing the styles flaunted by Khushi and Vedang. The campaign is currently live across 50+sites in 4 cities.

    Ideas Farm creative head Jetesh Menon said, “We wanted the OOH to be unconventional, just like the film. To put the spotlight solely on the fashion available on the platform, we added a playful twist. The outdoor campaign therefore has an irreverent tone to get the audience’s attention. It coaxes them to get the trends available on the app and evokes a sense of curiosity with the copy and visual treatment.”

    Ideas Farm business strategy & head Priyanka Dey emphasised, “Our collaboration with Myntra for the #SpotItGetIt campaign transcends conventional marketing. It’s about crafting an experience, igniting conversations, and inspiring fashion enthusiasts to embrace the styles they adore.”
