The Indian Prime Minister’s choice of a monogrammed suit for Republic Day is now a hot talking point. Were the stripes made up of his name ‘Narendra Damodardas Modi’ a standout style statement or just a bit OTT?
Whatever be the case, Narendra Modi is not alone in wanting to sport his name on his clothes. In fact, he finds himself among pop icons, Hollywood stars and British royalty who have adopted this trend.
Bad boy of the pop world Justin Bieber has been spotted wearing a green knitted scarf with a big red ‘J’ on it. Produced by Matalan, it was part of a campaign to rope in celebs to raise funds for a cause.
The Legally Blonde actress is big on monogrammed accessories. Even her gym tote has her initials on it. Reese Witherspoon apparently believes in the dictum, ‘If it’s not moving monogram it.’
The heir to the British throne is a well-dressed baby with his every look closely scrutinized. When he appeared for this family portrait wearing a sweater with his name on it, it started a trend for babywear in England.
Another member of the British Royal family who likes initials on his clothes is Prince Harry. He had ‘HRH’ emblazoned on a lab coat when he was called upon to open a new facility.
