That Orissa-born Bibhu Mohapatra is a very hands-on designer is pretty evident from his dramatic designs and that’s also probably the reason for his stupendous success with his collections.
He recently uploaded some backstage pictures to his Facebook page (from Lakme Fashion Week, clicked by Manoj Jadhav, Alexa Rodulfo and Hanuk Hanuk) and many of them prove just how “hand’s-on” he actually is.
From steam-ironing his garments himself to taking care of last-minute adjustments and being on hand when the models were practicing their ramp cues, the affable designer is definitely one of the few out there who doesn’t turn over all the dirty works to his assistants.
More power to him, then!
