“You’re Not Mid, You’re Just in the Middle”: Azorte’s New Campaign Challenges Gen Z’s Biggest Fear

If there’s one word that defines Gen Z’s cultural anxiety, it’s “mid.” Not terrible, not great; just average. In a world obsessed with extremes, where virality is currency and perfection is performative, “mid” has become the ultimate insult. But Azorte, one of India’s fastest-growing fashion and lifestyle destinations, is here to flip that script.

With its Autumn/Winter 2025 campaign, “You’re Not Mid, You’re Just in the Middle,” the brand offers a radical reframe: mid isn’t mediocrity — it’s momentum.

Fronted by Bollywood’s next-gen stars Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina, the campaign is less about glossy perfection and more about the messy, in-progress moments of self-discovery. Think awkward dance reels, fashion experiments that don’t always land, and nights where the future feels both terrifying and tantalising. In this visual manifesto, directed by Anish Dedhia and crafted by Famous Innovations, the “in-between” becomes beautiful — not something to escape, but something to embrace.

The film doesn’t just showcase clothes; it showcases confidence, style, and unapologetic authenticity. Because here’s the truth: the stumble always comes before the stride. And for Gen Z, that’s where the magic lies.

Dhaval Doshi, Head of Marketing at Azorte, frames it perfectly: “Gen Zs are tired of the pressure to be perfect all the time. They want brands that understand their raw, in-progress selves.”

One that redefines relevance, not as likes, applause, or virality, but as self-assured relevance: the ability to be in sync with the world while staying grounded in your own rhythm. By turning “mid” into a badge of becoming, Azorte gives India’s youth permission to wear their journey, not just their destination.

After all, authentic has always outlasted perfect. And in Azorte’s world, being “in the middle” might just be the most stylish place to be.
