For his first resort collection, Bibhu Mohapatra was inspired by vintage Fifties postcards from the South of France. “Postcards tell someone’s story. It’s a glimpse of a moment of happiness in someone’s life,” he said. And what a good life it proved to be for the Bibhu girl. Mohapatra focused on more day looks than in past seasons, with dresses in pretty brush stokes, embellished twinsets, slim trousers and a chic trenchcoat. There were still plenty of beautiful cocktail dresses and gowns; a cocktail frock in lace crochet over layers of yellow chiffon was especially noteworthy.
