Fall 2010 - Inspired by two films, Bernardo Bertolucci's Il Conformista and Fritz Lang's Metropolis, this collection explores man’s fascination with accuracy and precision in arts and crafts during the time of Mussolini, in the wake of Italian futurism, and on the brink of aviation’s golden age.”

Spring 2010 - Bibhu Mohapatra celebrates the fusion of science and nature. Inspired by radiology and the architectural works of Santiago Calatrava—this collection pays homage to the x-ray, elements in nature, and the merging of the two. The graphic abstraction, transparency, and grayscale of x-rays…the segmentation and armature of leaves, flowers, anthropods, and reptiles as seen under an x-ray…the tensile supports that lie beneath the exuberant façade of Calatrava's masterworks… As transparency reveals the inner structure of a coat and layers of sheer billow to expose formative underpinnings, Bibhu Mohapatra explores the theme of “inner beauty.”

Fall 2009 - Bibhu Mohapatra explores the mindful precision of 17th and 18th century warrior paintings, Japanese armament and modern architecture. Adding sumptuous yet purposeful details to a rich palette of navy, indigo, chartreuse and shades of grey, he transforms sculptural designs into elegant clothing. Precious and raw materials skillfully combine to achieve a delicate balance between the relaxed and restrained, the tailored and draped, the hard and soft. Highlights include a unique hand-woven peacock coat and a satin chiffon gown shown in an abstract print inspired by Hans Hartung's artwork.
