Yesterday, all thanks to the siblings' prodding, he discarded his trademark all-white safari for a sharp Italian-cut suit at the two-day Global Investors Meet (GIM) that began yesterday, and asked his ministers to do likewise.
The CM, who is not known to appear in anything other than his beloved white safaris, finally got two Indian, a bandhgala and a Nehru suit and as many western suits stitched because his old ones do not fit him anymore.

"He needed this look. I worked with Vijayendra to get him these suits and we were extremely happy to see how he turned out."
Paresh Lamba, the designer, who created the suits for the CM, said the suits fashioned from lightweight wool are in dark colours as well as shades of cream that suit his skin tone.
"I have ensured that he wears shirts and ties that match the colour of the new suits, and have taken particular care to use material that breathe so he is comfortable wearing them for long hours," said Lamba (see box).
The CM's daughter is so happy with the results of the makeover that she hopes he will continue to try the new designs more often.
