‘India's 50 Most Stylish People: The ELLE Hotlist!’
(Elle Magazine | July, 2002)
'ELLE' Magazine (July 2002) has published a Hotlist of
'India's 50 Most Stylish Poeple' which includes two
Tibetans! And they are Tenzin Tsundue (42) and the
Dalai Lama (44). The list is a conglomeration of
personalities across the India crossing all boundaries
of class and wealth who has made individual impact
with
style. It included stars from Amitabh Bachan to
Aishwarya Rai, politician Omar Abdulla to writer
activist Arundhathi Roy, business
barons Vijay Mallya, Ratan Tata, other stars like
Sachin Tendulkar, Sushmita Sen, Shoba De, Amitava Gosh,
Madhuri Dixit, Aamir Khan. Let's see what the editor
of the 'Elle' magazine has to say about the selection.
Editors View:
“At Elle we have always insisted that fashion is more
than following trends blindly. It is an expression of
individuality. A free will. Therefore, Hotlist 2002 includes fashion
maverick Anshu Arora Sen as well as an impossibly
elegant Shoba De. Dr Vijay Mallya and activist Tenzin
Tsundue also make it to this roll-call. One is a
hugely successful entrepreneur who seem to have it
all. The other is a refugee seeking justice for his
homeland. Their link? Courage. Mallya blazed a new
trail on the business front. Tsundue followed his
conviction when he climbed the 14th floor of the
Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai to protest against China's treatment of his
homeland, Tibet. Each selection is different from the
other — and yet united in their uniqueness. How can
appearances, designer labels, bank balances and status
not pale in front of this distinctiveness?”
