BRAND AMBASSADOR

From kurta-pyjama,attire has distinctly turned casual this year. During the assembly poll campaign in Kerala and Tamil Nadu in April, Rahul was seen sporting a blue T-shirt from UK brand Hackett. In February, he attended Parliament in a white shirt from Ralph Lauren, a US brand. Of late, the Congress leader has been turning up in a peach shirt from Farah (another US brand). Three years ago, Rahul had downplayed a controversy over his expensive Burberry jacket, saying it was a gift. Political rivals have yet to share their take on his new fashion sense.
