Leaders' Unique "Leader Clothes"

A few years ago,

Art director Karl Lagerfeld said that only two people in the world have their own jackets, one is Chanel and the other is Mao Zedong.

All Chinese people think he's wrong, is it Sun Zhongshan?

This is the mystery of the jet lag. The Chinese called the Chinese tunic for more than 100 years, which is called Mao Suit in the West.

It was worn by Mao Zedong. It is famous all over the world.

I have never seen Mao Zedong wear a suit, but this does not mean that Mao Zedong does not pay attention to wear. On the contrary, it shows that he knows too much about the clothing choice of leaders is a political declaration.

It has been reported that after the liberation of 1949, the Central Committee selected a group of young tailors from the best tailors in Shanghai. They used to tailor their suits to Beijing to make clothes for leaders.

This is the predecessor of Hongdu clothing company.

After World War II, all leaders of western countries who were very resistant to the West deliberately refused to wear suits in public.

Gandhi, Gandhi in our mind, is basically naked in his sheets.

The last time he wore a suit, or when he was in South Africa, he never touched India again.

His successor, Nehru, did not wear a suit. His coat was not a collar but a small collar. The collar was later called the Nehru collar.

Leaders who are independent after World War II do not wear suits. Many heads of state in many African countries wear colorful gowns on formal occasions. This robe is more comfortable than a suit.

It is a political attitude for former colonial leaders to wear Western clothes.

Al-qaddafi, the former president of Libya, must be the most overly anti Western attitude.

When he met with Western heads of state, he liked to wear special military uniform.

But the color is very pleasant, such as sky blue and orange coloured uniforms. When he went to Italy, he also printed a black and white photo of a Libya poet who was shot by Italy in the war of independence.

Al-qaddafi's clothes, and those yellow or dark glasses, have become the symbols of the dictator.

Clothing is always the theme of public discussion, because a plain dress, a bad wind buckle, will bring a series of discussions and even political disturbances.

For example, Castro of Cuba, who has been wearing military camouflage clothes after World War II, aims to tell successive US governments: "come on, brother."

I am ready to destroy you. "

Venezuela's new president is also dressed in American clothes, always dressed in red, emphasizing his anti American and left-wing stance.

In 2011, when Castro was seriously ill, he appeared in front of the public. Instead of wearing military uniform, he was dressed like a retired old man in Florida, wearing a loose sports shirt. Immediately, the news of "Castro failed" and "Cuba changed to heaven" came out.

The leader's clothes are always related to politics. Karzai of Afghanistan has been praised by Tom Ford as the most fashionable leader in the world.

Karzai always wears a long coat, called tunic, so far no one can plate the word into Chinese.

This coat is worn by all ethnic groups in Afghanistan, and their hats are the symbols of their respective nationalities.

There is no reason why he is dressed like this. When Americans occupy Afghanistan, wearing a suit will give people the impression that he is a puppet. Insisting on wearing national costume can make him more easily trusted by the Afghan people.

Karzai's only westernized place is wearing leather shoes from Italy.

The fashion of "puppet" is so fastidious that the dictator's costume is even more.

Chilo's Hitler, Mussolini,

They all like to wear military uniform, and the language of military uniform is very strong.

Our leaders are now wearing suits.

Tang costume took a small bubble at a conference and disappeared immediately.

What does it mean to wear a suit? It depends on the historical meaning of a suit.

In the early days of the industrial revolution, the European Court was wearing a fashionable suit called Ditto Suit, with its coat like today's tuxedo and trousers under the knees, with a vest.

Usually, this suit pays attention to material, and formal occasions pay attention to the embroidery inside and outside the suit.

This is the ancestor of three suits.

A shirt with a Ditto suit is no collar. A man needs to use a very long scarf to tie around several times around his neck. His visual effect is a bit like the frill collar of today's dress.

This collar is called cravat, and it is also the meaning of today's French tie.

When the French Revolution was chaotic, it was the beginning of the British Industrial Revolution. Don't forget that the industrial revolution took the lead in the fashion industry. Textile machinery was born in England in the latter half of the eighteenth Century.

Catching up with king George IV of England, he liked to dress up. Under his leadership, fashion and splendor became popular, and fabric became cheaper and cheaper. The aristocracy and the new bourgeoisie were living in a corrupt fashion under the king's call.

After the death of George IV, the famous Queen Victoria ascended the throne. The queen immediately shouted to the erosive fashion life, and the men's suit became solemn from all kinds of garish.

Men's fabrics are not funny, they emphasize solemnity.

The so-called business suit we are familiar with today was born in the early twentieth Century, and was bought by people who did business.

Nowadays, national politics puts economic development first, and suits are right.

But the information age is coming again. If the suit is the product of the industrial revolution, then Hoodie, the Facebook hat worn by the boy in the stock market, is probably the future suit.

Now that the change has arrived, there is no George IV who is obsessed with fashion. Men can be freed from their suits.
