A la Modi – India PM wears name-striped suit

So the world leader with the ultimate sense of style was found and it’s not the Bolivian president (this guy). For his meeting with US President Obama on Sunday India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi wore a suit striped with… his name, many many times.

Modi was mocked by his fellow Indians for wearing the suit:

“Maybe he was afraid that someone would steal his clothes?” Suprateek Chatterjee tweeted, calling it a “vanity-striped suit.”

Other critics were more blunt. “WTF were his designers thinking,” tweeted one user.
