My fashion mantra is comfort, confidence and simplicity. I believe fashion comes with comfort and comfort comes with confidence. If you feel comfortable and confident in a certain outfit, just wear it!! Life's too short to compromise your outfit/fashion for others!! From a cami top to a saree /kurta, wear whatever you want to and just be confident enough to carry it nicely in your way!
Retro Kolkata : First of all, Congratulations to be the Rising Fashion & Lifestyle Blogger of Retro Kolkata Magazine. Please say something about you. About your career as a Fashion & Lifestyle Blogger. How did you get started?
Anuska: Hello everyone, I'm Anuska Samanta. I'm a student and beside pursuing studies, I create fashion and beauty content on Instagram. I have 15.8k followers on Instagram. I have collaborated with a variety of brands from Lakme, Ponds to fashion brands such as Myntra.
Retro Kolkata : You have an exceptionally unique look. Where does your style savvy come from, and where do you get your inspiration?
Anuska: Well, it all started during the Lockdown in 2020. Styling outfits and a sense of fashion was something I always had in me and that's why I thought why not put it up on social media and that's how my journey began. From clicking pictures using my mobile to collaborating with different photographers and brands it has been a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to grow more in this field.
I have got inspirations from many but I always try to recreate it on my own. Also, I keep in mind how I can reflect my personality and characterisation through my fashion.
