His half-sleeved kurta, the panache with which he carries off the Nehru jacket and his clean and crisp dressing style makes Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi the favourite of designers, who feel that he always puts his best fashion foot forward. |
The Lok Sabha poll will be held in nine phases from April 7 to May 12. And politicians will be out in full force to gain the confidence of the masses. Whatever may be the election results, fashion designers vote for Modi as their favourite best-dressed politician.
Known for mostly donning a half-sleeved kurta and pyjama in shades of blue and orange, the Gujarat chief minister has, at least in the fashion sweepstakes, certainly defeated politicians like Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal.
“I feel Narendra Modi is the most well-dressed amongst them all. Just like his visionary approach, his fashion sensibility also reflects in his clean and crisp dressing style. He carries himself with elan and has a certain aura about himself,” designer Poonam Bajaj said.
In addition to designers’ votes, merchandise store Bluegape.com also favours the Gujarat chief minister. The Hyderabad-based store says 8,360 out of its 10,000 users bought NaMO merchandise.
Asked to pick her favourite, designer Pooja Motwani promptly said: “Of course Narendra Modiji. His style of carrying the Nehru jacket, which is really in nowadays...youngsters and elders everyone is following the trend. His kurta styles are good too.”
Fashion organisation India Federation for Fashion Development’s designer Swati Mehrotra liked his “real Indian politician look. Modi’s Jawahar jacket and khadi kurta is the real Indian political look,” she said.
