Chanel Beauty comes to town

Chanel-fragrance-and-beauty

Right next to beauty favourite Bobbi Brown comes another store designed to please - Chanel’s fragrance and beauty store. They started as a pop-up at Select Citywalk, but now have a permanent, a 550sq ft. space, delivering Chanel’s complete beauty range - skincare, perfumes and cosmetics. They have in-house make up specialists and skincare experts, so pop in for free skin-specific advice and lessons in professional make-up application techniques. Although, fair warning, the crew over at Chanel definitely plays hard to get and will not entertain you unless they sense you’re serious about buying. Our advice: invest in their foundation; still a front-runner across brands and different buys.

Where: Ground Floor, Select Citywalk

Price: INR 600 upwards

Bhane launches its S/S 14 Line 

bhane-spring-summer-collection

Street style specialists Bhane launch a whole new Spring/Summer collection. You can expect the same Bhane sensibility, across an expanded basic line, additions to men’s favourites, new silhouettes, and a range of new prints and shades. They’ve hopped on the Indian textile bandwagon this season, so you’ll find alot of Ikat prints and classic Indigo dye. That said, Linen and Poplin also have major presence, making the collection light, breathable and perfect for summer. Ladies, don’t miss the linen tunics, and gentlemen, Bhane gets the always-in style linen pant right.

Where: Shop them here or at the Bhane store in Mehar Chand Market

Price: INR 450-INR 2,400

Nappa Dori launches brogues, moccasins and ballet flats

naapa dori-shoesThe leather company that transformed the banal steel trunk and inch tape into pieces bright and beautifully crafted, now ventures into handcrafted shoes. Made in genuine leather and currently designed only for women, Nappa Dori's footwear includes Brogues, Oxfords, Moccasins and Ballerinas, each available in 3 different colours, and with a support wooden heel. The popular Ikat print lines the insides, and small details and tassels accent the shoes. Bookmark the Nappa Dori Moccasins in beige; this pair goes well with work and play.

Bodice launches a platform collection

bodice-platforms
Bodice, a prominent label in the boutique and independent fashion space in Delhi, has launched a limited collection of platform shoes. Given that Delhi's roads come with their share of bumps and slumps, Ruchika, the creative head behind Bodice, has gone with footwear that's comfortable and convenient to wear, and fashionable and slick in design. Made of leather, the platform collection currently comes in three versions - plain black, black and white, and tan and white.  This is just the first of what's to come from Bodice's shoe collection. Ladies, expect leather flats, sandals and more versions of their platforms. We're also told canvas footwear is a part of their future plans.

Where: OGAAN {Khan Market} or at the Bodice store in Hauz Khas Village
