THE FASHION IDENTITY 1) According to you the definition for FASHION and STYLE. Ans) Fashion is a film by Madhur Bhandarkar and Style is a film by N. Chandra. Cummon . Fashion is you. Its a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses.
2) Tell us about your attire in your upcoming shoots. Ans) As I am into daily soaps for television attire varies. It depends on the character I am playing. In bengali megas heroines mostly wear salwars or sari. Few exceptions are there. But then they are very few.
Nothing beats a sunglass to accessorize and give a perfect finishing to your day look.Ishani shows it to you
3) Your favorite fashion accessory that you think stands out for you and all other ladies.?Fashion accessory that men look the best in? Ans) I am not a very much accessory person. But my sunglasses and watch is a must. Sunglasses are replaced by my specs at times. For men I guess a good watch and a nice pair of shoe and they are good to go.
5) A tip to all our male and female readers for dressing up on a hot sultry afternoon day.. Ans) They can wear anything they feel like,whatever they are comfortable in. If you have a tendency of getting tanned easily even after using a good sunscreen then its better to wear coverd clothes. If not then you have whole lot of options. Try wearing cotton clothes. Dont forget to use sunscreen and carry an umbrella for sure.
4) How would you dress up on a hot sultry afternoon....? Ans) That depends on where I am going. But whatever I wear it should cover my arms and legs. Dont wanna get tanned. May be a cotton trouser with a white t-shirt or a white shirt teamed with a bright tee.
“
Casuals and sari. See for me as long as you are comfortable in something everything suits you . A good pair of denim and a tshirt or may be a shirt is my all time favourite and I love sari. I don’t like prints much. I love checks and solid colours. White redblack are my all time favourite.

Ishani on what suits her the best
Ishani looking gorgeous and beautiful in make up..To know more about her make up mantra.....Read On.
9) Tell us about the make up that you keep for your shoots? how is it influenced? Ans) Its really difficult to maintain your makeup when you are shooting for 15-16 hours a day inside a floor with so many lights and so many people around. Firstly you hv to drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated. Here again your makeup depends on the character you are playing. As I do my own make-up, for me I try and keep a light base with a good eye make-up and a good shade of lipstick. I avoid gloss and stuff. A good eye make-up and a nice hair do can bring all the difference.
8) Your favorite shopping destinations for clothes and fashion accessories...Favourite online shopping site..? Ans) Favourite shopping destination!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant take a single name. Whole lot of places are there. I love shopping from Westside, Zara, Pantaloons, Shopperstop, Biba, Max, Fabindia etc. And if you are in Kolkata darling, definitely go for streetshopping. Accessories , you get the best from NewMarket. I love buying shoes from inc.5 mochi Rocia and few more. Watch from Titan Fastrack. I love mtv aviators. Online shopping site , I guess flipkart is good. But I dont prefer buying clothes from there.
10) Your favorite designer whose clothes you love to wear? Ans) As I said before I dont even mind shopping from streetside shops provided the material is good,but yes I am obssesed with some brands like Jealous Bare Leecooper Chemistry etc. There are many designers I like. But I like two very much. I have worked with them. Shubha Sinha and Sandip Jaiswal. They are very young and doing really good. I have few in my wardrobe from there collection.
6) Your favorite outfit of a female character from a recent film that you watched?What did you like the most about it?Your favorite outfit of a male character from a recent film that you watched?What did you like the most about it? Ans) 2states i guess. Cant think of any other films right now. I liked because clothes were simple yet both of them were looking beautiful.I liked the wedding part mainly.. very nice.

11) Your favorite make up product without which you cannot step out of your house? Ans) If I am not going out for any work I prefer a clear skin. My face serum a good sunscreen and a touch of compact thats it. Yes I cant live without my kajal. My MAC studio fix and lakme kajal , they always save my life. 12) How would you dress up for a party on a hot humid night?Also tell us about the make up and fashion accessories that you would love to keep?

Ishani loves wearing single solid coloured vests
13) Which vest do you love wearing more....The one with an animal print or the one with a floral print? Ans) I don’t like animal prints at all. So the choice is floral for sure. I love solid colours. 14) Tell us about your daily fitness routine and skin care regimen Ans) Honestly I don’t get time for gym and all. For me its dance. I strongly believe its one of the best exercise to keep yourself fit. And trust me you dont need to be a dancer for that. Put on your favourite number and dance for yourself as no one is watching. For skin ,cleansing toning moisturising is a must. The first thing I do after make-up is I remove all my make-up. I try and avoid chemicals. I prefer diy (do it yourself) skin care products. Curd papaya aloevera turmeric honey etc. Home made face packs are always good. You can check glamrs.com.

My nails grow really fast. Cutting your nails and filing is a must. A hand spa is important. I like solid colours. Depends on my mood. Sometimes its red sometimes black and sometimes beige. -

21) What would be your favorite formal wear? Ans) My favourite formal wear is a trouser or a pencil skirt with a shirt.
22) Your favorite footwear(casual) Your favorite footwear(formal) Ans) I am very happy and comfortable in my flats. I love boots too.
23) How big a role does body type for ladies play in the way they dress up? Tell us about the different body types suitable for different attires.....If someone does not meet have the correct body type how can she wear that outfit? Ans) If you are plus size but
have got the curves right you can wear anything. Same goes for people like us who wear xs. Confidence is everything. Still I will say if you are little bulky and want to wear dresses go for long one. You can even try palazo. If u are really skinny and want to wear a sari go for tant with a good blouse. But the most important thing wear your clothes stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself. You are the best judge. If the answer is yes , who dare stop you. But if no then you know what to do. So next time if someone says you are fat and stops you from eating anything eat them too.... but if we take little care of ourselves we can get the curves right.
Ishani’s favourite colour to dress up for a party is white.Take an inspiration!
A word of all those fashion e
There is no swerable to ing. See like keep it simp For that if a ally don’t gi are happy w yourself. St in your own
f motivation to who are non enthusiasts?
o rocket science. You are not ano anyone for what you are weare I am a person who loves to ple . I love my no make-up look. anyone thinks I am not stylish, I reive a damn. What matters is if you with it. Take care of yourself. Love tart believing that you are beautiful n way. Be happy. Be you. 24) Often we find people wearing mutual prints and dresses in a public place...What would your advice be to people who wants to avoid ending up wearing the same attire as another person in a public place and stand out eccentric? Ans) Very true. See this is the reason i don’t follow trend.... lol. Jokes apart , obviously if something is in trend everyone will love to wear that. And you will end up looking like ... you know what I mean. So this is the place you need to give your inputs. Team it up with accessories (obviously the one which goes with it) and don’t get lost in the crowd..
One of the most important thing which makes you look good and gives you confidence is your hairstyle. Please take care of your hair. Oil your hair before shampoo. Conditioner is a must. If possible use a home made hair pack to repair your hair. Use a good serum. Please use a moisturiser kick for your hair before stepping out of your home and save them from sunrays. Know your hair type before buying hair care products. I love the sp range available in be bonnie. A good haircut can change ur entire look.

Edition 35 Month: October
From the Editor It was then back in 2013 when I became a die hard fan of Ishani,watching her anchoring “Rocking On Request” on Dhoom Music.Whenever I used to watch her shows I used to find her personality really charming and what inspired me to was her beautiful eccentric attitude towards fashion. From her attiring to hair styling to make up and how to carry one’s self gracefully,Ishani was the perfect fashionista according to me who justified each of the phrases.
