About Upender Mehra 

UPENDER_IN_TROY_3_large.webp

I have spent over 40 years making clothes - properly.

 

That means solving the problems others miss. The designs that do not quite land. The samples that come back wrong. The manufacturers who say it cannot be done - when it can.

​

I have worked with global names and independent labels alike. The people I get on with best are those who care about what they are making. No theatre. No shortcuts. Just thoughtful, considered work.

What I do:

At Upender Mehra Fashion Consultancy, I serve as a design consultant for fashion brands that are stuck, scaling, or simply in need of a clear head and a practical eye.

​

Sometimes it’s about identifying what’s missing—and figuring out how to make it work.
Design and range direction that makes commercial sense.

​

Hands-on product development and production troubleshooting.

Support for brands who want to get it right—from the first sample to final delivery

“Upender has always been far more than a consultancy resource - he’s been a mentor and a trusted guide. Whenever we’ve encountered challenges in fit, fabric, or product planning, his decades of experience and clear, practical advice have helped us move forward with confidence.”
