We’ve been fans of Nikhil Thampi‘s work for a while now and once again we have first dibs on his LFW fall/winter collection. Thampi’s collection is close to his heart, for he returns to his Southern roots and draws inspiration from his grandmom’s style and influence. (FYI he’s mentioned this before, in our exclusive interview.) He’s incorporated punk elements with classic Indian silhouettes. True to his trademark statement – making motifs – Nikhil has opted to showcase Kathakali as his representation of Indian punk.
What’s more he’s collaborated with Nitya Arora of Valliyan for the accessories for his collection.
Now doesn’t that sound promising?
