Sustainability Zone
Responsible Consumption & Production

Aayat Aziz is the founder of Generation M, a modest fashion and youth empowerment brand born in the heart of Kashmir. Shaped by the realities of growing up in a region facing both political conflict and environmental decline, Aayat was driven to create a venture that merges sustainability with cultural identity. With a background in communications, business, and design, she channels her lived experiences into building a brand that advocates for ethical fashion rooted in purpose.

Through Generation M, Aayat promotes sustainable production and conscious consumption by offering small-batch, ethically made collections that celebrate modesty and mindful living. She actively challenges the norms of fast fashion by prioritizing eco-friendly materials, fair labor, and local artisanship. Her work extends beyond clothing—she leads workshops, youth campaigns, and community storytelling to cultivate climate consciousness and responsible consumption, especially among young Muslim communities.

Aayat believes that fashion can be a powerful medium for change when infused with values. Her work lies at the intersection of environmental sustainability, cultural preservation, and social justice. By inspiring young people to reflect on what they wear and why they wear it, she’s building a movement that reclaims fashion as a tool for resilience, representation, and radical care for the planet.
