Day 1 of Lakme Fashion Week 2013 has shown some interesting collection on the ramp. Next in line at Day 1 of LFW 2013 was Nikhil Thampi's winter collection. For the lack of a better word, we are calling it the tribal inspired collection of winter clothing. We saw models dressed distinctly in tribal style, walk the ramp of Lakme Fashion Week 2013 for Nikhil Thampi.

The uniformity in the collection was maintained by models wearing big nose studs on both their nostrils. That is why, we are calling it the tribal collection. The clothes were mostly Indian. There were a couple of sarees and some lehenga style skirts as well. Nikhil Thampi also gave us a few dhoti wraps in his collection at Lakme Fashion Week 2013.

The fabric used in the designs was predominantly silk. Although the collection was not distinctly for cold weather, it did not look very summery either. The colour palate included blacks, golds and browns.
Here are some of the best designs from Nikhil Thampi's Lakme Fashion Week 2013 Winter Festive collection.
