Bibhu Mohapatra SS25 / Spring/Summer 2025 at New York Fashion Week

“Our spring 2025 collection is inspired by Patti Smith. Not just her maverick spirit, iconic NYC roots, and her wildly creative journey of six decades, but also the very personal way I’ve found solace and inspiration in her poetry—and how she organically weaves it through every facet of her work and life. This new collection has taken on the shine of that quiet kind of poetry, too—resonating with the elemental forces of love, remembrance, and grief, while also channeling this very primal essence of life’s never-ending raw beauty. Through a tapestry of sensations, memory, and Smith’s words and musical notes, this collection aims to express the purity and fragility of the human experience. And by using shape, structure, color, and details, I hope each piece may connect and amplify how these broader influences can ultimately shape our existence.” ~ Bibhu Mohapatra

The Bibhu Mohapatra SS25. / Spring/Summer 2025 collection is a sensory journey that intertwines emotions and memories through use of delicate fabrics, bold silhouettes, and evocative designs. It captures the raw essence of the human spirit, with parallels drawn between the poetic nature of Smith’s words and Mohapatra’s creative vision.

As part of an exciting new direction, Bibhu Mohapatra is launching a dynamic indigo denim group, offering a fresh approach to everyday luxury. This range, which includes jackets, dresses, pants, and skirts, complements the brand’s daywear offerings and is designed to be paired with the collection’s more refined pieces. The addition of denim allows Mohapatra to cater to a broader client base with elevated, season-less designs at a sharper price point—maintaining the luxury of Bibhu’s craftsmanship while enhancing accessibility.

Bibhu Mohapatra SS25 collection is further distinguished by two unique collaborations. The first is with Nini Jewels, where precious gemstones and diamonds in a spectrum of colors have been integrated to harmonize with the collection’s ethereal aesthetic. These statement pieces embody both luxury and artistry, adding a layer of opulence to the garments.

The second collaboration is with Pantone, featuring their new Dualities color palette, launched alongside the Bibhu Mohapatra Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Mohapatra’s cashmere shawls are inspired by nature’s elements—the sun, moon, stars, and sea—and reflect the ancient Japanese philosophy of Ikigai, which celebrates life’s four-part day cycle. Adorned with intricate embroidery and crafted in Pantone’s vibrant hues, these shawls encapsulate the spiritual core of the collection, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow, day and night.
