The Generation of clothes

Published January 11, 2013

With seven stores countrywide, Generation is a household name when it comes to women’s fashion in Pakistan.

Unlike other garments which underwent mass-production, its clothes are dyed, screen-printed and embroidered by hand. Here’s a look at the design process in Generation’s factory on Ferozepur Road in Lahore. -Text and photos by  Nushmia Khan
