In 2012, US First Lady Michelle Obama wore a certain yellow print dress on Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show. It not only marked a milestone in a designer’s career, but also made everyone sit up and take notice. That dress sold out instantly, and the creator of that dress, Bibhu Mohapatra is now a rising star in the New York fashion scene.
Bibhu Mohapatra has designed outfits for the likes of Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hillary Swank, Salma Hayek and Cate Blanchett
