A friend sent me this photo and caption, but I couldn’t track down the source. Looks like a fairly typical Beijing fashion show.

“Models show off fancy costumes which look like slabs of meat during a year-end party hosted by a Chinese fashion house in Beijing 30 December 2003. Chinese fashion houses are fast competing with international brand names for a lion share of the domestic fashion market, but industry experts say China still has a long way to go in developing Chinese name brands.”
