Fashion for squares

After the world was wowed by the National Day parade in Tian'anmen Square, young people in Beijing came up with the idea of "square fashion", which combines the latest trends and functionalism.

Local fashion company Eve de Uomo was in charge of all 10,000 costumes in the parade. Chairperson Xia Hua says square fashion takes the stylish and useful elements in costumes at the parade, and has rearranged them into a new line.

Xia says the most important feature of square fashion is function. There were thousands of children who had to stay in the square for more than 20 hours, holding flowers and banners. Xia's team created a pair of trousers with seven pockets.
