Chiiz Volume 7 :Fashion Photography
When people stand in front of the mirror to have a good long look at themselves, they always hope to see a better reflection of themselves than what they have seen previously and with all this, they have grown conscious of how they appear and how comfortable they are with what they wear.Not only their clothes, but also their comfort level, express the sense of style and their conformity to the outer world.In this issue, what we have focussed on might not be the mainstream fashion and people might not get the hype that revolves around the fashion world but what we have here is something that is responsible for all that we have achieved so far in this industry. Be it natural beauty by Lynn Theisen, backstage brilliance by Ishaan Nair, or the street fashion by Rohit Arora which is now gaining popularity among the more prominent photographers.The interview with John Rawson is an eye opener. He is has been through it all andhis experiences form a great lesson for all of us. The series of Roshini Kumar with Suhail Nayyar is also a masterpiece in itself which is a true symbol of comfortable fashion statements. Rod Klein and Jorge Gonzalez’s underwater fashion photographs present an altogether different approach to see things.

Zina & Zoya<br />
Zina and Zoya Singh<br />
eeing beauty in imperfections<br />
“Sthus, terrible and channeling<br />
our twinness through arts and<br />
creativity with our love for fashion,<br />
we came up with Terrible Twos.<br />
The ability to take our interests<br />
which varied culturally and<br />
personally, coming together to<br />
create a platform which accepts<br />
all that’s terrible. Terrible for us<br />
isn’t something negative. It’s a<br />
connotation which can be made<br />
beautiful with the right suffix.”<br />
<strong>Chiiz</strong> interviews the sisters, Zoya and<br />
Zina, on their evergrowing popularity<br />
and the message that is being portrayed<br />
through their fashion statements and the style<br />
they express. SHEETAL got the chance to catch<br />
them for a quick chat. You can check out their<br />
instagram page @touchandbe.<br />
Hi, First of all, you both are very beautiful<br />
and the way you portray the said terribleness<br />
in your images is somewhat another form<br />
of expressionism. Explain your ‘terrible’ in<br />
Terrible Twos?<br />
We have always believed that terrible isn’t a bad<br />
word. Having being called terribly naughty,<br />
terribly fun and terribly nice at times, we think<br />
with the right kind of connotation, terrible<br />
can be any oxymoron, just like the two of us.<br />
We are the yin and yang together. I hope this<br />
explains it. Being twins we have always played<br />
pranks on everyone around us and had fun<br />
with this nature’s gift.<br />
Adding the fashion element in your<br />
expressionism, there is a very wide gap<br />
between where you are and what you want to<br />
portray. People might see it as just a lifestyle or<br />
fashion thing but it’s much more than that. Can<br />
you please elaborate on this?<br />
Initially it started as something fun and<br />
spontaneous. Ephemeral even. Developing<br />
keen interest and passion combined, we started<br />
living our work through each creative aspect.<br />
Be it photography, editing, styling, writing,<br />
direction and stories- it all was a challenge<br />
and was not expected to be understood by<br />
all. Only those who want quality and reality<br />
in surrealism would have! Slowly, people are<br />
opening up though and through various ways<br />
and mediums we have achieved that target<br />
of relating to people and interaction. We can<br />
proudly say we know our followers and know<br />
what they like!<br />
There is this great love that reflects in your eyes<br />
for each other. Are there times when you guys<br />
are annoying to each other?<br />
We do love each other not just naturally but<br />
for unexplainable reasons as the bond we have<br />
cannot be. Sometimes we fight like it’s the end<br />
of the world but minutes later we will be fine.<br />
Since we work together too, it’s sometimes<br />
difficult to manage personal and professional<br />
lives, though we won’t have it any other way!<br />
A fashion advice that you would like to give to<br />
the masses. Something that you believe in and<br />
think that this is where it can all be right?<br />
Please stick to yourself and your own style, no<br />
matter how minimal, simple, exaggerated or<br />
kitsch it is! Don’t follow trends, they aren’t for<br />
everyone and be comfortable and real!<br />
