Jammu: Fashion is often described as a cycle, a continuous loop where the past meets the present to create the future. Today, that cycle is spinning faster than ever as the “90s Era” makes a thunderous comeback.
From baggy jeans and chunky boots to the iconic “Angry Young Man” bell-bottoms seen in classic Bollywood cinema, the industry is witnessing a massive shift toward vintage aesthetics blended with modern confidence.
At the center of this cultural wave in the region is Mehran Zain, a rising entrepreneur from District Doda whose namesake collection is making significant waves.
The “C Factor”: Confidence and Class
The fashion industry thrives on what experts call the “C Factor”—a mix of Demand, Dynamics, and Class. As technology begins to dominate our daily work, the need for tactile, high-quality “stuff” that provides personal confidence has grown.
“Fashion is not just about clothes; it’s about confidence and personality,” says Zain Khan, the creative force behind the Mehran Zain Collection. “I am inspired by how clothing can instantly change a person’s mood and appearance.”
