Veils over dupattas, capes over cholis, meet the modern brides | Ft. Isha Jajodia | The Fashion Scoop, Ep 43

·26 min·1 clip
Isha says modern brides want “capes, corsets, veils” instead of a boring lehenga choli.
The conversation opens gently. Priyanka brings in Isha of Rose Room after her India Couture Week collection, and the whole chat keeps circling French architecture, roses, and fantasy-like design. Queen Rania is the first person Isha says she would fangirl over. Her reasons are soft but precise: poise, delicacy, elegance, confidence, and the kind work she connects with her. Priyanka asks whether that magical feeling was there from the beginning, or whether it grew with the work. Isha talks about design as something that keeps changing. Reading, writing, introspection, and teachers all sit inside that process for her. She says teachers can act like mirrors, and she keeps refining herself. There is no full stop. That line gives the episode its pulse. The clothes are not treated like one finished idea; they sound more like part of a daily practice. Books slip in without making the mood heavy. Isha is reading Autobiography of a Yogi, which she calls heavy, mysterious, and connected to real life. Spirituality comes up, but she does not overplay the word. She pushes back on how casually it gets used, then admits she is always looking for purpose and carrying mystic questions. Priyanka then steers the chat back to NIFT. It feels like the show in miniature: a personal turn, then a practical question about training and fashion work. Isha says she did her master's there before the excerpt cuts off. Even with that abrupt ending, the center holds: couture romance, discipline, and a search for meaning behind the clothes.
