For designer Bibhu Mohapatra, who's dressed Michelle Obama and opera divas, India remains both the muse and the ultimate market

- Noor Anand Chawla

Returning champion

On a balmy October evening, a well-heeled, glittering crowd descends on the newly refurbished Pragati Maidan, in the heart of Delhi. They settle around a large amphitheatre. Before long, fountains spout up toward the sky as the stage lights up. Vasundhara Vee, known for her soulful jazz and Sukanya Chattopadhyay, a singer of Hindustani classical, set the mood as models strut out wearing cocktail dresses, structured gowns, chic blazers, slinky skirts, and other embellished outfits. Bibhu Mohapatra is back. The OG ambassador for Indian design abroad showed on home turf after nearly a decade.

Skip to the good part

Life is short. It's OK to pull a TL;DR. Skim the boring memoir, generic romantasy and BookTok fluff. Why draw out a yawn?
