A style hommage to the iconic Faye Dunaway, with a serious dose of modern edginess,  the Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2011 collection was easily one of the most impressive of the week.

The Bibhu Mohapatra collection is available at Neiman Marcus in San Francisco's Union Square neighborhood.  For more information visit the designer's official web home, and for more images of the Spring 2011 collection visit The Style Wylde Galleries.
