You don't need to pay close attention to understand that the sea blouse is the favorite of the mayor of Vlora, Dritan Leli. In many of the photos of the informal meetings that are posted on his profiles, on social networks, T-shirts with horizontal stripes, white and blue, are under the light jacket in the same color tones. In fact, Leli's dedication and care for beauty appears everywhere, as in his image, in the decoration of the office where he spends most of the day, but it seems especially in the city.
The navy blouse, otherwise known as Breton (like Britain), seems to be in his wardrobe more often than others. The colors of the sea were first invented in the French Navy. They are said to have as many lines as Napoleon's victories in England. The first to make this blouse officially part of French fashion was Coco Chanel. After 1910, it became the French Riviera holiday t-shirt. 'Marinar' was also Pablo Picasso's permanent t-shirt, so even often, in museums, you will find it labeled Picasso T-shirts.
In any case, whatever the real name, 'sailor' is not just a cotton blouse with horizontal stripes. For the French, it represents the sea, culture, nature, food, red wine, sun, history, painting ... just wear it and talk about personal connection with everything. In our case, after the research we did, the relationship turned out to be even stronger. Dritan Leli, for sure, wears it not only because he was born and raised near the sea, but even though he can always feel the memory of his father, once a sailor on the island of Sazan, where he himself lived for several years of his childhood.
