The fashion elite literally kissed designer Bibhu Mohapatra at his Fall 2011 presentation at the Box at Lincoln Center. Styled by Vogue's Lauren Santo Domingo, the collection was one of the standouts for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. It was well edited and beautifully presented like a Vogue magazine editorial, the models were elegant, chic and edgy at the same time.
Ladylike black leather gloves were covered with glittering bracelets from Dannigo and edged with black feathers on the models. They looked every inch the lady but with a definte dark edge. There was a gorgeous fluted column dress, shirred chiffon column dresses, architecturally folded bodices punctuated occasionally by a piece with flat rivets, each piece had a specific direction.
There were a few standout jackets cut extremely well and flattering to the body.
Bibhu’s collection was based on the ‘sinister glamour of nature, at once frightening and very tempting…”
