Monday marks Bibhu Mohapatra's first catwalk whirl. Chic checked in with him for the full scoop! 

Welcome to the runway!
Thanks! It’s like planning a wedding.

What’s the inspiration?
An old opera, The White-Haired Girl, set in twenties China.

Who’s your favorite white-haired girl?
Kristen McMenamy.

What’s your dream stage name?
I’d love to be called The Craftsman.

Have you perfected your runway wave?
I thought about it and said, ‘OK, Bibhu—how vain can you be!’

Betsey cartwheels...
I don’t think my investors would want me to do that!
