bibhu mohapatra

Indian-born, New York-based designer Bibhu Mohapatra launched his eponymous label in 2008, after honing his skills as Design Director at J. Mendel. Rooted in his upbringing in Odisha, India, where his mother taught him to sew, the brand is defined by a deep respect for craftsmanship, rich textiles, and vibrant color palettes. Mohapatra’s collections feature elegant evening gowns and sophisticated ready-to-wear, which merge the intricate handwork of his heritage with a distinctly modern and global design perspective. His work often explores the juxtaposition of opposing ideas: tailored and draped, structured and fluid, bold color and subtle neutrals.
