Coming to the thespian’s KBC look, Big B’s stylist Priya Patil had told IANS. “The fabric we use for Amitabh Bachchan’s suits is imported from Italy. The quality has to be super fine, so every season we make sure to avail the best material. She also shared more about his look in the upcoming season. “This year, he will be seen in three-piece suits but his style of wearing ties will be different as I am planning to introduce the eldridge or pratt knot,” Patil added.
