New Delhi: The government's wardrobe makeover began with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's famous monogrammed suit. And it will now continue with designer uniforms for railway staff - very likely made of Khadi - that the government hopes will "instill a sense of pride" in the nearly 1.3 million railway employees.
Fashion designer Ritu Beri, who was in May hired by the government to design a new uniform for railways personnel, presented a set of four 'themes' for the uniform to the railway ministry on Tuesday, PTI reported.
Beri's first 'theme' for the uniform is Indian tribal art. The second one is based on "rustic coins and currency of the 'golden period' of the country". It's unclear which 'golden period' Beri is drawing inspiration from.
The couture designer's third theme spotlights the legacy of India's erstwhile nawabs. The fourth theme showcases the "vibrant soul of India", which is defined as a fusion of "everyday elements of culture, business, music and entertainment", the report says.
