 His late brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai, made statements to a similar effect.As part of his efforts to unite Afghanistan's ethnicities, Karzai favored a dress that combines traditional design features from the various ethnics - Pashtun style long shirt and loose trousers, an outer robe popular among the Tajiks and Uzbeks, and most distinctively a "karakul" hat worn by highlanders from the valley of Panjshir.In 2002 designer Tom Ford, who worked at the time for Gucci, was quoted calling Karzai "the most chic man in the world".
