W Boston Knows Who, What and Wear

November 11, 2011 By Lindsey Canant

On Tuesday, turn to the W Boston for its Fashion Next presentation featuring Bibhu Mohapatra, a youthful designer with previous experience designing for Halston and J. Mendel. The Fashion Next program was designed by W Hotels Global Fashion Director, Jenne Lombardo, to support emerging designers. In this 3rd season, they're recognizing Mohapatra, Yara Flinn of Nomia, Juan Carlos Obando, Michael Angel, Leana Zuniga of Electric Feathers and Laurence Cooper and Joshua Cooper of Rochambeau.

The designers travel to various W Hotels for trunk shows and other collaborations, and this time around it's Mohapatra's turn to take on Boston. He'll be invigorating the Hub (just as we're preparing for hibernation mode) with his elegant eveningwear designs inspired by his Indian heritage and upbringing. Seats are limited so RSVP now for a first-hand look at global fashion gone glam.
