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