Lite Beer Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 PM'S OVERSEAS TRIPYingluck defends her choice of discoloured jacketThe Sunday Nation PM Yingluck Shinawatra seen wearing the much-talked-about jacket as she is about to descend the aircraft in Milan earlier in the week. The photo is taken from Yingluck MILAN: -- Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra yesterday defended her sartorial choice to wear a partly discoloured green Thai silk jacket on her visit to Italy's fashion capital of Milan by saying her new style was rather "accidental".The picture of the premier with the jacket while walking down the plane's staircase has caused a stir on Thailand's netizens, and received both positive and negative reviews.The premier yesterday posted her view on Facebook stating: "I arrived in Milan and had the chance to wear a tailored jacket with silk fabrics from [Her Majesty the Queen's] Arts and Crafts International Centre of Thailand [in Ayutthaya]. It was flooded in 2010 and led to the different colours seeping onto the fabric thus creating a new pattern that I wear today."The discoloured patches were on the premier's right jacket pocket, the jacket's left arm and near the right side of the lapel.The PM was to give an opening speech at a seminar entitled: "The Italy-Thailand Business Forum: Commercial and Investment Opportunities for Italian SMEs" where an exclusive roundtable discussion involving leading Italian executives took place. That was followed by a visit to a showroom of furniture-maker Poltrona Frau.Her sartorial choice led to intense debate with some saying it's inappropriate for the premier on an official visit, adding that it may diminish Thailand's image, while others praised her for her good and novel taste that turned out to be beautiful. The premier is known to be a fashionista.The prime minister is on a European tour to Switzerland, Italy and Montenegro and is scheduled to return to Thailand today. -- The Nation 2013-09-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jaidam Posted September 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2013 Finally, she has some knowledge of the subject matter, I'll bet she feels very smart indeed being able to answer the questions posed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chooka Posted September 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2013 Discoloured jacket, she is only showing that she is poor and also wears seconds just like the ordinary folk whilst visiting Milan and shopping for fashions. A little off topic but is this woman ever in Thailand? Only ever see photo's of her jet setting around to exotic locations and walking down shopping strips. Isn't it the functions of her trade ministers and foreign ministers to do what he is claiming to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Dollars to donuts: It will catch on and flood stained silk clothing will become next year's hot item. Factories will open just to synthetically flood damage silk, and there will be patents issued for the different processes. Universities will have classes in how to make it look real. Or she'll just admit she dressed in the dark. I once wore 2 different shoes to work. Not a fashion statement, just dressed before my first coffee and ran out the door. (In fairness, they were both brown loafers, just different brands) If Justin Bieber did it, everyone would be wearing 2 different shoes the next week.

MaiChai Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 bit of turbulence inflight while having a glass of wine? You would think after a 1000 years of flooding in Thailand, the Thais would have flooding licked by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NongKhaiKid Posted September 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2013 Instead of questioning YL's attire the Sunday Nation would be better employed questioning why she's out of the country so often. An op ed in another newspaper points out that in her 19 months as PM she has visited 30 countries which is almost 1.6 a month and it seems hard to justify. Even genuine world leaders don't travel that much. Can we maybe conclude she's under orders to keep out of the way as much as possible and if nothing else avoid questions that she simply can't answer ? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doremifasol Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 "Others praised her for her good and novel taste that turned out to be beautiful. The premier is known to be a fashionista". I 'd say she had a very bad taste and no class at all. Why I can't help but thinking that her real intention was to trigger sympathy and possibly get some free Italian designer clothes? After all she is in the right place (what a coincidence). What she does she does for a purpose. Stay tuned for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siampolee Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) A wonderful projection of the stained and tawdry image of the current Thai government puppet politics and policies along with a total disregard for Thailand and its peoples are there for all the world and the Thai people to see. Yingluck has displayed the truth (unintentionally no doubt) on the worlds stage confirming without a doubt what a Machiavellian inspired puppet production this current administration is.

Your excellent command of the situation leave no doubt in my mind that your photo editor is in complete control of deciding what picture is to accompany the excellent prose used to inform the general public of the PM's most recent visit to Europe. I am pleased to inform you you have received the GT award for the month of September 2013. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
