Traditional attire gives county cutting edge in design

The hanfu made in Caoxian, notably the horse-face skirt, or mamianqun, gained international recognition through appearances at the Chinese clothing design competitions and Milan Fashion Week.

These clothes have been exported to Australia, Canada and the European Union, generating 12 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) in total sales last year.

With a population of more than 1.3 million, Caoxian is now home to nearly 3,000 hanfu businesses, according to local authorities.
