D2D: Direct to Designer, Bibhu Mohapatra
If you happened to pick up the July issue of InStyle, you may have noticed new face Jennifer Lawrence, paired with new designer Bibhu Mohapatra.
Born in India, Mohapatra got his fashion start by making dresses for his sisters. After moving to New York, studying at F.I.T, and landing gigs at Halston and J.Mendel, Mohapatra decided to spread his wings and start his own label. Recognized by the CFDA, he was named one of the 12 designers to receive a coveted position at the CFDA Fashion Incubator. At the Incubator, we got to check out his new workspace and showroom, ogle his Fall 2010 Collection, and fall in love with a beyond beautiful wedding dress from Spring 2010.
Visit bibhu.com for a closer look at his collections, and see why everyone’s buzzing about this new designer to watch. (Bibhu Mohapatra collections are available at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus).

SPEAKING of WEDDINGS, Bibhu Mohapatra has an absolutely gorgeous wedding dress from his Spring 2010 collection on display in his showroom. I fell in love with it, and told him I HAVE TO HAVE THAT DRESS FOR MY OWN WEDDING. He just laughed, but I was dead serious.
