Politically Fashionable?

When President-elect Evo Morales wore a brightly striped sweater on his world tour, the fashion police howled.

But now "Evo Fashion" could sweep Bolivia, with a factory churning out hundreds of copies of the sweater he donned in Europe, China and South Africa.

Raul Valda, who operates a factory in the hills of the capital of La Paz, said his designers began working on 1,000 sweaters after people flocked to stores requesting the Evo-style sweater.

"This is going to become a line we call 'Evo Fashion' that we hope will appeal to young people," Valda said.

Morales, who will be Bolivia's first Indian president, has always dressed plainly. Some believe he wore a high-end alpaca wool version of his favorite sweater while hobnobbing with kings, presidents and other VIPs.

While some are speculating on Morales' cabinet picks, others are wondering whether he'll wear his fuzzy maroon, white and blue pullover to his swearing-in ceremony Sunday.

Valda's horizontally striped sweater is made with synthetic fibers. It will hit stores nationwide on Monday Morales' first full day in office and sell for an affordable $7.80.
