Poll couture: Modi, Rahul making strong fashion statements

Designer duo Mona-Pali, sensing the mood for the demand, arranged a fashion show recently where models showcased various designer saris printed with symbols of various parties, including Congress, BJP, TMC and AAP.  

“The saris printed with party symbols had a huge response both from viewers and customers,” Pali said.  Various sari shops in Kolkata have been flooded with orders to get saris printed with symbols of political parties.  

“We have been receiving huge orders of party symbol printed kurtas and saris.

Most of these orders come from supporters of different political parties who generally wear these garments while attending rallies of politicians or on poll day,” said Nishikanta Behura, a garment store owner here.
