Some Asian women leaders make themselves refreshingly different and attractive with their clothes, hair styles, shoes, ornaments and also manners. Their fashions not only work as a very powerful force in society but reflect change, development, prosperity and advancement of women. For example, Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister of Pakistan, was regarded as one of the fashion icons for her sartorial features-- black coat on shalwar-kamiz and black shoes. She gained huge popularity among young women in the subcontinent.
In the past, elderly women in South Asia used to have a hair cut (boy cut) following Indira Gandhi without dyeing it. In Bangladesh our former prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia has introduced herself as a highly fashion conscious woman. She adorned herself with the best of chiffon sarees with different shades of colours and necklaces of stones round the neck.
The way people imitate the style of their favourite film actors or actresses, they follow these leaders who have introduced great styles and fashions.
