"Everyone thinks Bangladesh is a poor country," said Bibi. "For a creative person - for me - it's rich in culture and everything. So it gives me a lot of energy. I live in Bangladesh. Most of the time I'm in villages and I'm competing with top designers."
Bibi's dresses may be the height of fashion but the technology that produced them is centuries old.
One million people depend on weaving these glamorous silks and cottons for their livelihood. But the spread of cheap machine-made fabrics has threatened their traditional skills. And if that were not enough, now many weavers have been left destitute by the worst floods this century.
They are putting their faith in former fashion model turned designer Bibi Russell, hoping she will rescue them by promoting their craft abroad.
It all starts with silk cocoons which are laboriously unravelled into shimmering thread. Spinning, twisting and dyeing provides employment for the whole family.
It's not easy ensuring only natural dyes are used and a consistent standard is produced.
If just one thread snaps the quality drops, so even a ceiling fan is not allowed in the weaving room.
Bibi Russell calls her label Fashion for Development. She hopes to help tackle the terrible poverty of rural Bangladesh made worse by this year's floods which covered two-thirds of the country.
