Car factory plays host to designer's fashion show

Walking into a carmaking factory in Northeast China's Shenyang, fashion designer Sara Yun feels like she has entered into some sort of futuristic world depicted in a sci-fi movie - hundreds of huge orange robotic arms are busy connecting, painting and assembling car parts while driverless vehicles deliver parts precisely to their intended locations.

It's hard to see the workers in the huge factory, which is the size of several football fields - only the robots are visible, and the sounds they make fill the space.

The fashion designer was invited to hold a special show on Jan 16 at the BMW Brilliant Plant Tiexi in an industrial park in Shenyang, Liaoning province. She designed four ranges of clothes inspired by her experience visiting the factory, mainly featuring the colors of silver, orange and a reflective white.
