Objective:

This post is part of my portfolio project on brand teardowns, where I decode how iconic Indian brands build cultural capital through storytelling, design, and strategy. This one features Bewakoof, a youth-led fashion brand that turned everyday wear into a badge of self-expression. The goal was to explore how Bewakoof built an identity around humor, relatability, and rebellion, proving that brand voice can be just as powerful as the product.

What I Focused On:

• Analyzing Bewakoof’s visual language, pop color palettes, clean sans-serif typography, and bold product photography that screams youth energy.
• Understanding how their tone of voice, quirky, meme-like, and unapologetically desi, made them one of India’s most shareable D2C brands.
• Breaking down their content strategy, from relatable wordplay to timely collabs that connect with fandom culture.
• Studying how Bewakoof created community through attitude, not discounts, by being the brand that “gets” the Gen Z inside joke before anyone else.
• Conceptualizing my own campaign idea, “Wear Your Mood,” built around emotional fashion, using AR filters and real-time user-generated content to turn daily moods into wearable statements.
• Designing the slides in Bewakoof’s bright yellow-black palette with typography that mirrors their bold, confident, and cheeky personality.

Time Taken:

2–3 days (brand audit, tone decoding, content psychology, campaign ideation, and deck creation)

Tools Used:

Canva, ChatGPT (for concept development and creative tone mapping)
