Remember when you had to climb all those stairs only to get to Gunpowder? Well, you still do. However, it's no longer for food alone. Now there is something worth a stop mid-climb: Bodice's showroom.

Bodice is a fashion brand by Ruchika Sachdeva launched in Delhi about two years ago. The designs are structured and androgynous without being agressive or losing in femininity. The fabrics, all sourced in India, are subtle and elegant and work well with the edgy designs and finishing.

We love the jackets there. They are well-tailored yet unique and we recommend to pair them with pants to create unconventional, elegant suits that are sober fashion statements.

If you like well-cut blazers as much as we do, you'll become a fan of Bodice in no time: those clothes are of the rare kind that make you feel confident, beautiful and sophisticated all at the same time, something you don't want to miss out on.

Bodice is available in a few multi-brand stores around India, but the Hauz Khas Village's showroom, decorated with a few objects (a red phone here, a vintage mirror there) that express the designer's personality and taste, is the best place to browse the full collection and get a sense of the brand's style.
