Designers’ Take

Anupama Dayal, Delhi:
On Rahul Gandhi: He is a good looking man, but somehow, he chooses to be very simple when it comes to his clothing. He should use better fabrics for his clothing with sharper cuts. If I had to dress him up, I would give him sumptuous silks in maybe black with sharp streamlined cuts because usually his kurtas tend to look very crumpled. He is half-Italian, so he has the potentioal of looking dapper. I would also give him scarfs, improve his footwear; basically, dabble a bit with his styling, which will add an edge to his look.

On Narendra Modi: He has such a strong personality; he should ditch his pastels and opt for rich colours like red, ochre, etc, that will give punch to his personality. So, if I had to decide clothing for him I would go all out with colour.
