FASHION BIBHU MOHAPATRA CELEBRATES TEN YEAR’S OF FASHION AT 2019 NEW YORK FASHION WEEK LCAHouston was personally invited by Bibhu Mohapatra himself to attend his Tenth Anniversary runway show, at New York Fashion Week in February, where he revealed his Fall/Winter 2019 Collection. This Indian American gentleman did not fail to mesmerize his audience. A master of pairing clothing while staying authentic to his roots, Mohapatra perfectly married his Indian heritage with contemporary styles. This collection’s designs and patterns were inspired by Mohapatra’s partner, artist Bobby Beard. The Victorian era inspiration was on full display as models walked the runway donned in fascinators. The showstopper gown was created out of black silk gabardine and black velvet with crystals. It took fifteen artisans to make Bibhu’s dream come to life. At this fashion celebration many notable fashion writers present from Vogue to our very own Houston Fashion Editor, Clifford Pugh who has witnessed Bibhu grow and flourish into a brand. Many celebrities like: Hilary Swank, Gwyneth Paltrow, Glenn Close, Jennifer Lopez, Ciara, Rita Ora and Lupita Nyong’o have all worn Bibhu’s designs and he has had the honor of dressing the US First Lady, Michelle Obama. "It was great to see Bibhu back on the runway at New York Fashion Week, particularly to celebrate his 10th anniversary. Gowns are his specialty and he rose to the occasion with hand-embroidered crystal beading, lace appliques, satin bows, and other distinctive touches. Standouts included gowns draped with satin petals at the shoulders or with big hoop skirts, and evening dresses trimmed in fabric emblazoned with his name,” explains Clifford. Inspiration from nature, in the form of petals, were prominently featured in the construction of his gowns. Mohapatra’s handcrafted work has distinguished him from other designers for a decade now, and we hope that it will continue to do so for many years to come.
