Classic costume becoming chic for graduates

College graduates posing for photos in baccalaureate gowns are always a sight on campuses in early summer in China.

Perhaps even more eye-catching than them, though, are their classmates in traditional costume.

Zhou Jing, a female student who will receive a diploma from Ginling College of Nanjing Normal University this summer, decided to pose for her graduation photos wearing a costume students often wore between 1911 and 1949.
