Special outfit for Chinese delegation unveiled

BEIJING - China's blue-and-white porcelain is one of the world's most popular and valuable works of art.

At the Tsinghua University on Monday, designers from Qiaodan Co Ltd revealed how they used it as an inspiration to produce the Chinese delegation's outfit for the Shenzhen Universiade in August.

"The outfit shows Chinese culture to the world. It will put every (Chinese) athlete in the limelight as a new design concept and new color combinations have been used," said Ni Zhennian, general manager of Qiaodan, a Fujian-based sportswear company which is a long-time supporter of university sports.
