The suit case

Italian designer Ermenegildo Zegna's son Angelo gifted a black suit worth Rs 80,000 to Shiney

Actor Shiney Ahuja was shopping at a mall in Dubai, where he walking into Giorgio Armani's showroom to pick up a suit for Metro's premiere in Dubai. Shiney loves his Armani suits and prefers to dress formally when he attends important functions.

However, as Shiney wasn't too happy with the Armani collection in the store, he decided to wear an Indian outfit for the premiere instead. While he was stepping out of the Armani store, he noticed famous Italian designer Ermenegildo Zegna's showroom in the mall.

An eyewitness says, "Shiney walked into the showroom and explained to the sales executive what he was looking for. He liked some of the stuff in the showroom, and was thinking of buying one of the suits for the evening event. But, what Shiney did not know was that Ermenegildo's son and designer Angelo Zegna was present in the showroom. Angelo heard what Shiney was looking for. That's when he approached Shiney and offered him a dapper black suit worth Rs 80,000. The designer also insisted that Shiney accept the suit as a token of appreciation. Angelo wanted Shiney to wear the suit for Metro's premiere. Although Shiney insisted on paying for the suit Angelo jokingly asked Shiney to be his brand ambassador in India."

Shiney happily flaunted the Ermenegildo Zegna suit at the premiere in Dubai. "It's unfortunate that I couldn't find anything suitable in Armani. But then I realised that Zegna's suit fit far better than any other suit that I have worn. I was touched by Angelo's gesture," says Shiney.
