Blush, black, beiges and whites blend seamlessly with the quintessential lace. The sculptural precision of the 24-karat gold-plated corset anchors the entire narrative. Delicate embellishments infuse the lehengas and draped skirts with lyrical beauty, while there’s depth and allure in the dramatic black lace gown.

Evidently, in the latest prêt collection of Roseroom by Isha Jajodia, the magic lies in all the detailing and understated glamour. At HELLO!’s dreamy photo shoot, Isha is like a proud mother, checking every minute stitch ever so carefully. Her muses — Alekha Advani, Ameya Shah, and sisters Simone and Alyssa Chesson — are the perfect allegory for her latest designs, all petite and ultra feminine.

“We curated looks that embody Roseroom’s most refined interplay of craftsmanship, femininity and modern couture strength,” says Isha. “The story opens with soft blush tones in intricate lace placements and tonal appliqué, styled with an unexpected lace bomber jacket that brings a fresh, urban dimension to feminine silhouettes.”

HELLO! gets up-close and personal with the four stylish ladies, while Isha gives us a peek inside her creative mind.

I never imagined I'd fit into a metal corset, let alone feel comfortable in one. It was surprisingly wearable

For Simone, this shoot was incredibly special, for she got to be photographed with her sister, Alyssa.

“Sharing that experience made it feel very personal. Isha Jajodia’s designs are bold, artistic, and impeccably crafted. The entire shoot felt effortless, fun, and creatively fulfilling,” says Simone, whose favourite look was the designers’ iconic metal corset.
