Bibhu Mohapatra named CFDA Designer-WWD
NEW YORK — The Council of Fashion Designers of America and New York City Economic Development Corporation have tapped 12 designers as the first tenants of the CFDA Fashion Incubator.
“The CFDA Fashion Incubator is a natural extension of what our organization already does to support emerging design talent,” said Lisa Smilor, CFDA associate executive director. “We are thrilled to welcome this illustrious group of designers into the program, and are most appreciative for the support and involvement of our esteemed industry colleagues.”
The inaugural batch of designers are Alice Ritter, Bibhu Mohapatra, Prabal Gurung, Sophie Theallet, Rachel Dooley with Gemma Redux, Grant Krajecki of Grey Ant, Waris Ahluwalia of House of Waris, Joel Diaz with Jolibe, Alison Lewis with the Lewis label, Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School, Yuvi Alpert and Danna Kobo of Ruby Kobo and Justin Giunta of Subversive Jewelry.
To win individual design studio space at 209 West 38th Street, the designers needed to submit a business plan, show they had garnered “substantive editorial coverage” as well as orders from high-level retailers, have been in business for more than a year and a half and have a staff working for them. The designers received two-year leases on spaces that range from 800 to 1,000 square feet for below market rates of be- tween $1,500 and $2,000 per month.
The CFDA Fashion Incubator program was announced last fall with Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The NYCEDC is also of- fering the CFDA a $200,000 grant over three years to help es- tablish the program.

FROM ANGELINA TO THE UPPER WEST SIDE, BIBHU MOHAPTRA FINDS HIS DREAM
He left the glitz and glamour of working for one of the most sought out fashion labels in New York to put his own name on the back stitching of a gown. Since 2008, Bibhu has been designing under his namesake from a small Upper West Side studio. He's put out two ready-to-wear collections, with the most recent being S/S 10 which explores the theme of inner beauty. I'm loving the white jumper and the bone leather jacket for Spring which I might cop when I see him next month in New York. I'm hoping he gives me the you're Indian, I'm Indian discount!

"Kicking off his second season, Bibhu Mohapatra steered away from strictly eveningwear toward what he called “softer, more wearable” clothes, proving he is not simply a gown guy. To wit, a black jersey dress with silver satin bands draped around the torso had an easy day-to-night look, and a cream trench, with short sleeves and cuffs in a blue-and-black print resembling X-ray film, was both practical and unconventional. Blouses — in jersey, linen and layers of organza — were just as versatile, many in that same pattern, which Mohapatra said was inspired by the X-rays from a recent physical that were lying around his studio. Inventive, very, and yet the lovely sportswear was still overshadowed by Mohapatra’s stunning cocktail dresses, from a butter yellow charmeuse and white lace number to a pale green one featuring layered embroidered squares that looked to be falling from the waist. Beautifully constructed and, yes, entirely wearable, the tight 24-look lineup left one wanting more."-WWD

Report from Abu Dhabi
"Bibhu Mohapatra, an Indian designer, meticulously constructed a series of square panels of colour on a silk dress, an organza layer over an abstract printed top, and a white and yellow gown that had several textures created with layers, panels and ruching of silk. Mohapatra’s unexpected mix of textures and experimentation drew applause"
