Narendra Modi claims his eye for fashion is 'God-gifted'
A new biography of Narendra Modi proves Barack Obama isn't the only fan of the Indian prime minister's fashion sense.
Lance Price's The Modi Effect: Inside Narendra Modi’s Campaign to Transform India details Modi's own opinion of his sartorial skill.
"God has gifted me the sense of mixing and matching colors. So I manage everything on my own," Price quotes Modi as saying. "Since I'm God gifted, I fit well in everything. I have no fashion designer, but I'm happy to hear that I dress well."
