Reply-To: iwar@yahoogroups.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Le Monde Jan 31 2002 The `chic' of America's newest darling. New York (UN correspondant) At the end of his latest fashion parade in Milan, the designer of Gucci, Tom Ford, declared Hamid Karzaļ " the smartest man on the planet ". For the grand guru of fashion, "there's nothing more handsome and noble than the "Karzaļ style.". Mr. Ford admires "his impeccably cut Italian clothes, worn under gold-embroidered capes of glittering colors and hats in astrakhan". In chic soirees of New York, from now on, the women arrive with their embroidered capes, in "Indian millet chapans" over their Prada and Gucci ensembles, and the men wear their hats in astrakhan that the Afghans call "kolah poosti ". Similarly dressed in a green cape and capped by a kolah poosti in black astrakhan, Norton Jack, young Wall Street financier, asserts that he found its style "well before Tom Ford talked about it", and he adds: "What astonishes me more in this history is that Tom Ford knows who is Hamid Karzaļ! That is to say to which point the world has changed." The " Karzaļ chic " has also made Afghan merchants in New York very happy, seeing since the declaration of Tom Ford, their sales shoot straight up. " For a few weeks I have had to sell dozens of chapans which I dug out of the bottom of my drawers ", says Mr. Nostrati in his shop, in West village. In spite of his very busy timetable, Hamid Karzaļ, with his perfect English slightly tinted Indian accent evoking the British actor Ben Kingsley, became the darling of the American media. Arising from an old Pashtun family, the Afghan leader speaks six other languages, including French. He was accommodated like a true political rock star. Receiving a standing ovation by the joint houses of Congress brought together for the State of the Union speech by President Bush, put up in Blair House, the residence of the presidential guests, accompanied by a motorized procession of nineteen vehicles, Hamid Karzaļ was at dozens of appointments in Washington, but also in New York, the Security Council of UN and at " Ground Zero ", the site of the twin towers destroyed on September 11 2001.
