“The article quoted an unidentified French fashion expert as saying that the North Korean leader’s style was followed internationally. ‘Kim Jong Il mode, which is spreading expeditiously worldwide, is unprecedented in history,’ the stylist said.
    The 68-year-old leader’s suit comprises a zip-up tunic and matching trousers, usually in khaki or blue-grey. In winter he also wears a shapeless anorak and fur hat.”
