» Saner Lohvitee is a military-uniform buff. A graduate of Silpakorn University, the 39-year-old has crafted a trade around his personal passion and now specialises in dressing up military types _ from Burmese generals and American snipers to die-hard hit squads and the occasional colonel _ and all for the sake of cinema. His latest job was on the French-made Aung San Suu Kyi biopic The Lady; in that film, which was shot almost entirely in Thailand, Saner was responsible for clothing the entire Myanmar army, from lowly privates to the top brass.
