India’s most famous suit goes up for auction

When Narendra Modi wore a tailored-fit, navy suit, with his name embroidered in golden pinstripe, he had the whole nation talking about the outrageous fashion faux pas. Wearing that while meeting the U.S. President Barack Obama in January, made the sartorial choice even more provocative.

Opposition leaders accused him of being narcissistic, one politician even labeled him a “megalomaniac.” Much of the Indian public wasn’t too pleased either, questioning his image of a humble man he proudly portrayed during the 2014 general elections.

Modi held similar auctions when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat and raised funds for girl child education in the state.
