In the realm of haute couture, where creativity intertwines with cultural narratives, fashion designer Bibhu Mohapatra stands as a beacon of innovation and authenticity. We had the privilege of sitting down with the international sensation to delve into the inspiration behind his Spring 2024 collection, his journey from the vibrant landscapes of Odisha to the global fashion stage, and his views on the evolving cultural expression within the industry.
FROM ROOTS TO THE RUNWAY
“My journey from Odisha to the international stage is a narrative of hard work and determination, but above all, it is the stories of people I have met on this path that best describe it. Growing up in Odisha’s culturally rich and vibrant landscapes, I was exposed to a tapestry of traditions and artistry that would later influence my design sensibilities. After pursuing formal education in design, followed by training in New York, I started a namesake label. Today, I can proudly say that our brand and its products are known for their intricate detailing, fusion of diverse influences, and commitment to timeless quality and sustainability. Bibhu Mohapatra – the brand, has risen to prominence with a lot of integrity and goodwill, showcasing the transformative power of passion and artistic vision of our clothes.”
