Achkan suit ideal for Saif at Cannes!

Saif Ali Khan will be seen wearing a dinner jacket by celebrated American (ex-Gucci designer) Tom Ford instead of Indian wear for the Cannes red carpet as he feels he needs to maintain the dress code.
We thus asked ace designer Shahid Amir who has been designing for Saif for quite some time now to suggest what would have been ideal for Saif for the Cannes red carpet.
Shahid is in Cannes himself all set to launch his own collection at two fashion shows on the same day, May 13th, 2011.He is the only Indian designer who has been invited until date to showcase his collection at the Cannes 2011.
“Saif Ali Khan is very stylish. He is a trend setter of sorts and carries Indian clothes impeccably well. I’d love to see Saif wear an Achkan (bandhgala) embellished with buttons on its sleeves. He looks like a true nawab in it.”
With even Ash, Freida, Sonam opting for gowns at the event, would have been nice to see Saif flaunting the Indian style on the Cannes red carpet but since he has opted for Tom Ford, how can he ever go wrong!
For those who are wondering what Achkan suit is, we’ve often seen Saif (at events and weddings), Imran Khan (in his engagement), Anil Kapoor (on ramp), Fardeen Khan wear it several times.
