Inauguration, summits, working visits, public appearances, etc. - For each situation consistently provides its dress code. And with the image of an unfortunate puncture able to spoil the reputation of any president, turning it into an object of gossip and dirty tricks on the political Olympus.
The unforgettable leader of the world proletariat Lenin As is known, she had aristocratic origins. But being the mastermind behind the workers and peasants, Lenin chose the appropriate wardrobe - modestly and devoid of any generosity. Perhaps unwittingly, Lenin with his jacket and cap Kurguzov introduced the fashion for "cry the blues" style: all newly appeared elite began to look shabby, and most importantly - be "proletarian" hats. Exceptions are made if only the Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who are on duty was necessary to meet with foreign colleagues. The caps appear in the diplomatic environment was somehow not accepted, Molotov wore a hat.
Unlike Lenin, Stalin I have always been in the "military": field jackets, overcoats, caps ... usually suit jackets Stalin could not stand on the spirit. By the way, Stalin was quite extraordinary marshal's suit, the only one of its kind. Tunic decorated scarlet fringe epaulets and Marshall, but overcoat buttonholes and buttons were generals. Attached trousers with red stripes, which the leader is not tucked into boots, and wore trousers - except Stalin was dressed so no one else.
When Generalissimo was replaced at the helm Khrushchev , The military orders have sunk into oblivion. Few people know that Khrushchev made a peculiar fashion revolution. He was a big fan of hats, and was the only one of the rulers, who are not afraid to look ridiculous in frivolous straw hat.
But the first Russian leader, "dared" to set up on the nose sunglasses - this symbol is "the sweet life" - was Leonid Brezhnev . Secretary General at all was a great dandy, kind to his own appearance, loved and knew how to dress well. Even though Brezhnev could not bring himself to wear a tuxedo or suit, which has always been in great favor with the European rulers. For the first time put on the "swallow" a suit could only persuade Yeltsin in 1994, when the Kremlin met the Queen of England.
For a visit to the British monarch at the time it had for the first time in my life to wear suit and Putin. Generally, at ease wearing a tuxedo or a suit - it's an art that needs more study and learn. Putin, then this dress did not feel too comfortable. Particularly hampered butterfly, which was slightly larger than you need, and always strove to move out to the side
In an informal atmosphere
The international community will long remember how at one time for a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Blair wearing couple, Silvio Berlusconi He appeared in bandana. The visit of the British government was held in an informal setting, but rollicking bandana on his head Berlusconi still all shocked. The Italian newspaper La Repubblica wrote that pirate scarf hid the scars of the recent hair transplant surgery. But despite the insulting comments, Prime Minister sparked excitement on headscarves - merchants then literally praying for his health.
Vladimir Putin anyone not to shock their views. However, it was the first of our leaders appeared in public wearing a jacket, under which wore a dark shirt. It looked a presidential "outfit" terribly unusual, and even boldly. But Putin was not going to take "informal" positions: he was seen in jeans and suit jacket in Alaska, and even a bare-chested in a spirit of Indiana Jones.
But when the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev took office, Western observers immediately noted that our current leader, unlike the former, prefers classical and brighter and cause ties.
Hours of Presidents
Accessory on your wrist - it's more than a decoration: the clock in the political hierarchy of men's jewelry occupy a special place. In this small attribute calculate how big its owner, as all other indicators - real estate, yachts, bank accounts - are hidden from prying eyes. The only exception, perhaps, can be considered a watch George W. Bush Which, although owned by the well-known American brand Timex, but cost just $ 50. At the same time, so they are not lost, Bush ordered to do on the back lid engraved with his name.
Speaking seriously, the wrist important politicians and heads of state, usually decorated with large arrangements. For example, in a premium brand Patek Philippe, which is a fan of including Vladimir Putin (who, by the way, is the clock on the right hand). However, Putin's Perpetual Calendar of white gold is not a luxury item. Here Silvio Berlusconi really have something to boast about. Constantin Vacheron, emblazoned on the arm of the Italian Prime Minister, there are ... 414,000 euros. In comparison, Roman Abramovich with his RolexDaytona over $ 29,000 just some poor relative.
People vs.
In American politics is taboo: the president should never speak in public in a sweater. This unofficial ban originated in the late 70's, when Jimmy Carter "Communicate" with citizens on television. The United States at that time experienced a serious energy crisis, due to which the country's leader appeared on television wearing a sweater. Dressed so, the president would like to urge citizens to save, saying that it is necessary to dress warmly, and then have to sink lower. But the electorate is terribly offended and criticized Carter's sweater, and along with him in the dust.
Battered women and somehow involved in politics. For example, blue broad-brimmed hat Hillary Clinton In which she appeared on the first inauguration of her husband Bill, dubbed the "flying saucer." About outfits Laura Bush sarcastically wrote that she sews them of a sofa upholstery. Hairstyle Angela Merkel together they called "under the pot," and it always baggy suits and found more suitable for men than for the fairer sex.
Perhaps the only woman he has not touched a wicked criticism was Jacqueline Kennedy , Which is considered a model of good taste. However, this good taste at the time her husband is very expensive - the president is literally groaned at the sight of Jacqueline store accounts. It got to that the cost paid for the first lady-in-law - salary ruler US shopping wife simply did not have.
Today, the most elegant women in the highest political circles considered Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni . According to fashion historian Alexandre Vassiliev first lady of France looks more attractive and more secular in comparison with the wife of the American president. Michelle Obama loves clothes of bright colors and youth brand that makes it special and original style in the status of the first lady. But sometimes it denies the sense of proportion - dresses look too colorful, even tasteless. However, and Carla Bruni, which is considered "the personification of elegance and French chic," surprised the press and public with their choice. So, at a reception in honor of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Madame Bruni-Sarkozy appeared in tight-fitting dress, under which was clearly not the underwear.
