Modo Caldo
A World that is Kinder,
Less Brutal, More Accepting.
Art, Fashion and Science. New Delhi, since 2017.
About Us
Modo Caldo is a New Delhi-based womenswear label founded by designer and artist Jigyasa Jolly in 2017. Built at the intersection of Art, Fashion and Science, Modo Caldo creates contemporary womenswear — western, indowestern and Indian — that brings together considered design, thoughtful construction and Indian craftsmanship. From sculpted corsets and dresses to statement blazers, gowns, lehengas, drape sets and couture, every garment is made to order at our Rajouri Garden studio and designed to feel as considered as it looks.
What We Believe
The world can often feel like a place where we are constantly judged, compared and measured — by how we look, how we dress, how our bodies are shaped and how closely we fit into what is expected of us. Modo Caldo was born from the desire to create something warmer: a world that is kinder, less brutal and more accepting of every emotion, every body and every way of being.
We believe clothing can be part of that world — a way to feel comfortable in yourself rather than constantly trying to become someone else.
Where It Comes From
Our inspiration comes from both nature and the emotions that surround us. The movement of wings, the structure of a leaf, a flower unfolding, changing landscapes and the quiet details of everyday life find their way into our silhouettes, textures and techniques.
At the same time, we draw from the human experiences around us — vulnerability, strength, femininity, desire, joy and resilience. These observations are translated through design, craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the body, creating clothing that carries both visual beauty and feeling.
How It Feels to Wear
Ultimately, Modo Caldo is about how a garment makes you feel when you wear it. We want our clothes to bring out a sense of power and femininity without asking you to compromise who you are.
Whether it is a made-to-order everyday piece, a sculptural statement garment or a couture creation, every Modo Caldo piece is made to help you feel more like yourself — confident, expressive, feminine and free.
