*IN THE SPOTLIGHT
KHADIJA RAHMAN In conversation with the dynamic khadija rahman, creative head of generation about the retail brand’s socially responsible marketing campaigns, her personal style and much more. 26
PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE
2017
When and how did you decide to join Generation? I joined Generation right after completing my Bachelors in Fashion Design (Woman wear) in 2005 from the London College of Fashion. My parents founded this business, and I joined it for the love of design. Congratulations on wining an award this year as the “best retail brand” at Hum Style Awards. How does it feel? It feels wonderful to be appreciated as a brand that does its own thing and does not follow the pack. We at the Generation HQ have a grand time experimenting with new concepts, trying new looks, exploring silhouettes and indigenous crafts and toying with new colour palettes. We really love our jobs and to get an award on top of that is truly humbling. Umar Riaz’s video for Generation Woman has been making waves on the social media. Tell us more about it? I have known Umar for many years and so his work making waves is only evidence of his talent, something that many of us have admired for a while. Ever since we have launched this film, we have seen other brands in the industry taking inspiration from this idea of depicting women through a wider, more holistic and inclusive lens. That idea of inspiring a conversation and spurring others to add their contribution makes us feel invigorated, because this video is beautiful in its sense of openness, lack of pretense, its sensitivity and in how poetic and absolutely moving as well as how simple it is.
What or who was the main inspiration behind it? This idea was born a long time ago when we interacted with our customers and they shared what the brand Generation meant to them. They said it meant ‘from generation to generation’. They spoke about how they used to visit the store with their mothers and then they themselves started shopping from there, followed later by their daughters. We thought that was such a powerful idea and gave the brand as well as the brand name so much soul. Today we have a range of lines catering to different body types and aesthetics based exactly on this idea, and have entire families across different age groups shopping from us. This video pays homage to all those diverse, independent and incredibly smart women who challenge and influence our ways of seeing the world. Generation always comes up with socially responsible marketing campaigns, whether it was “bring back basant” or now “greater than fear” campaign. How do you come up with these interesting concepts? We believe we have a voice and feel very strongly about what happens around us, as do a lot of other people. It only seems like common sense to marry the two. We don’t design visuals. We design ideas. Ideas are not pink with frilly edges, but they have shape, meaning, colour, form, history, connotation, and political as well as social depth.

What’s been the biggest creative challenge in your career to date? To create a jama (called an angarkha by many) with the just the right neck depth while maintaining a graceful overlap below (without a titch button of course) Can someone teach us, please? How has Generation evolved over the years? Generation has evolved into a stable business with a strong culture of ingenuity and innovation. How do you deal with the competition in the Pret market? We’re generally quite lazy, so competition is good for us. It helps us stay on our toes, and come up with better results, which our customers appreciate. Plus if we work harder and make better stuff we feel better about ourselves too. So it’s a win-win situation. Where do you see Generation in 5 years? Innovating and serving the Generation woman for years 28
PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE
2017
to come with something, which would always be made with love. How does Generation’s aesthetic reflect your personal style? I have a bohemian sense of style, so I’ve been told, and that over the years has come to encapsulate Generation’s collections. Also, I am very desi. I love ghararas, chooridars, the mughal booti, the gulab, the romance of the dupatta, the hand embroidered muslin kurta and the cotton shalwar as well as the local colour palette - the scarlet red, the emerald green and the aatshi gulaabi. How influenced are you by current trends? You need to take trends with a pinch of salt. Trends help you understand the pulse of the market. You should have your finger on the pulse and then do something where you are really honest with yourself. The result, I believe, would always be successful. Describe your creative process? Create lots of independent, fun, beautiful ideas and objects. Throw them in the air. When they land, start putting them in order. And ta da!

FITNESS EDIT
#paperazzigetsfit

How did 180 come to life? It was a combination for the love of fitness and nutrition while seeing the vacancy of companies providing healthy and knowledgeable means of providing fitness to the masses. We just thought we could do it better!
What is your biggest accomplishment this year? Any single client that leaves us with a better physique and health condition is a massive success to us! One class at a time we aim to make people healthier and more in tune with their own bodies.
What was the biggest challenge of starting your business? Probably having to deal with teaching our clients what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. People seem to think that exercise and nutrition is a quick-fix solution, but we strongly advocate a lifestyle approach to healthy living. Exercise and healthy eating should be just as much part of your day as is brushing your teeth, it’s primary self-maintenance that allows you to live your life to the fullest.
Where do you get your fitness inspiration from? It's just something that's ingrained in all of us. It's a staple of each of our lives and allows us to function the way we need to with our other businesses and jobs, as well as at home with the family. It's something we cannot live without.
PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

What’s your favourite work out? Definitely some difficult cardio sets is what's most appealing these days! The
times when you want to give up and instead keep on going serve as great challenges and hurdles which are extremely pleasurable once overcome. It's about besting your own personal records that makes cardio so much fun and exciting. 'Today I'm not leaving until I know I've pushed my hardest!' is the mentality we come into the workouts with. With our own desire to excel we share our experiences and goals with our clients so they too can be motivated to overcome their own personal best. Winter is here. Suggest some work outs for our audience. Since the weather has gotten better out there's nothing better than a good refresher of a run! Lace up those runners and get out for a 20-30 minutes run! Not
only will it make you healthier but the stress will dissipate with every step you take. Favourite indulgence? Definitely some good ice cream. How do you take your coffee? Black, no sugar, no milk. What is 180s wellness mantra?
Fitness Forever! It is a lifestyle we advocate and stand by. This not only incorporates the exercise, but healthy eating as well. We believe we've got one life and one body to live with, so we plan to make the most of that! What’s 180’s go to work out? Can't say there is one. There's such a broad range of exercises and methods of exercising, that
we try to do something new everyday to keep things fresh and invigorating. So you could say switching things up is our go-to strategy for creating fun and exciting workouts. What do you have to say to our Paperazzi followers? Stay fit, positive, and happy folks. Wishing you a merry winter season from Team 180!

The week begins on a potentially passionate note with the likelihood of a romance or the rekindling of a relationship. If your partnership has fallen into a rut, the lovely VenusJupiter alignment can take it to a more fulfilling level. Even so, with ethereal Neptune on the scene, it’s also necessary to be careful when signing contracts or closing deals, as things may not be quite as they seem. The weekend could be volatile, so wait until things are calmer before discussing a key issue.
As feisty Mars continues its journey through your wellness sector, you’ll be eager to explore the latest fitness ideas. However, try not to have big expectations at the outset. Work up to your goals slowly for best results. In the main, relationships sparkle with promise whether you’re looking for love or in a long-term bond. One awkward issue could come to a head over the weekend, which will need sensitive handling. However, the new moon in your relationship sector hints at a fresh start.
Both work and play are high on your agenda this week, with lively Mars encouraging you to showcase your best skills and dabble in favorite hobbies. There is also a lot of pleasure to be gained from daily activities, especially if you’re looking to expand your options. A lovely alignment between luscious Venus and flamboyant Jupiter suggests that a meeting could present you with an opportunity that’s too good to pass up. Over the weekend, firm boundaries can help sidestep any control battles.
There’s much be said for indulging in your favorite pastimes and doing what you love. The week’s start looks quite delightful, although you’ll need to pay attention when signing contracts or handling anything legal. Thursday could be fairly empowering as well, and you might have insights into other people’s moods and feelings that you can use to your advantage. The new moon on Saturday can herald progress in a budding romance. However, if a family issue intensifies, sensitivity may be required.

With Thanksgiving Day just around the corner, this week could be one of preparation, with some lovely aspects helping things along. Convivial Venus and sporty Jupiter suggest that you leave no stone unturned to get your place shipshape and make guests feel welcome. Keeping a to-do list on hand can be very useful, too. With dreamy Neptune on the scene, it could be easy to forget key tasks. Communication could break down over the weekend unless you can handle things with extreme tact.
On Monday, a delightful blend of energies could see you getting along very well with others. This might lead to closing a deal, making new friends, or being offered a fabulous opportunity. It would help to keep your wits about you, though. With dreamy Neptune involved, misunderstandings are a possibility. Money matters might need special care this weekend, especially regarding disagreements on how it should be spent. Saturday’s new moon encourages you to step out and implement a new plan.
You might be in the mood to do some Thanksgiving shopping. But if you set out on Monday, your generosity will likely shine through and you could spend more than you intended. Still, you’ll be remembered and complemented for having done so. If you’re preparing for next week’s events, it’s essential to write everything down. Links between chatty Mercury, glorious Venus, and ethereal Neptune suggest mistakes can be made unless you take care. A calm approach would be wise over the weekend.
You’re certainly in your element with the start of the week perhaps coinciding with a party or seasonal get-together. With jovial Jupiter in your sign, a benevolent and warm-hearted attitude can charm others and leave you with plenty of admirers. Be careful concerning mixed messages, however, as some things may not be as they seem. The new moon in your sign on Saturday can be excellent for beginning a new phase in your life, but something might need to be released first.

Good fortune could strike early this week. An expansive blend of energies could see you grabbing an opportunity that leads to bigger and better things. But it would be wise to read the fine print and check the facts before you get too involved. With ethereal Neptune in the mix, mistakes are possible. The new moon in your career sector can also hint at a positive new start if you’re willing to take the plunge. Holding back? Past beliefs might need to be released first.
Romance is a possibility if you’re traveling. Or you might have the chance to rekindle the flame of love with your long-term partner. Either way, getting away from it all can bring positive rewards and a chance to unwind after a busy time. Check the details if you’re going away, as an awkward link between speedy Mercury and ethereal Neptune suggests the possibility of mistakes. Intense feelings between you and a friend might need working through if you’re to see eye to eye.

You’ll likely be in a very charitable and benevolent mood at the start of this week, and this could continue for some time. Your focus may be on helping others who are less fortunate, particularly during the holiday season. However, discernment will be important, as it’s possible that someone will try to fool you. Try not to take things too personally over the weekend, especially if you don’t see eye to eye with someone. It might be wiser to let things go for now.
You could be getting into the spirit of the holiday season for real this week, as easygoing Venus and flamboyant Jupiter connect in your social sector. This is an opportunity to organize a get-together or enjoy attending parties and occasions. If you’re preparing for the week ahead, writing a to-do list can be a huge help. With dreamy Neptune on the scene, it would be easy to forget something important. It would be wise to avoid a falling out over the weekend if you can.
