PIX: Bal and Rampal, dynamic catwalk duo!

Lakme Fashion Week's Winter Festive edition got off to a fancy start with an offsite showing by Rohit Bal.

He's flamboyant, he's original, he's the 'enfant terrible' of Indian fashion.

So it's only fitting that the LFW commenced last night with a showing by Rohit Bal.

The veteran designer showcased his 'Shaanti' collection, embodying what he does best -- luxurious ethnicwear.

Seen here is an intricately crafted antique gold corset with rich floral lehenga.

Nicole Faria is a picture of glamour in this sparkling ethnic coar and swirling layered lehenga.

For the men we have this black velvet jacket with multi floral placement embellishments and edged with triangular insets.

Alesia Raut steps out in a swirling gown teamed with heavily-embroidered floor-sweeping jacket.

Rohit enjoys his moment as showstopper Arjun Rampal in an all-white ensemble looks on.
