Michele Bohbot

It seems that everyone is into yoga these days. Even your grandmother.

And a lot of smart apparel makers are following this trend by branching out into yoga wear. The latest to join the yoga apparel club is Michele Bohbot, the designing force behind the contemporary sportswear label Bisou Bisou, now sold exclusively at JC Penney. Her new line of yoga wear is called Electric Yoga by Michele Bohbot with prices ranging from $24 to $198.

Who knew that behind that Bisou Bisou label was an accomplished artist whose canvases have been recognized by art dealers and critics alike.

Michele Bohbot, one of the founders of Bisou Bisou and its creative director, is in New York right now, where one of her paintings is being shown at the exhibition "Fleurs 1880-2010," which opens May 6 at the Benrimon Contemporary gallery at 514 W. 24th St.
