Fashion world bids farewell to designer Oscar de la Renta

Singaporean photographer Aram Pan visited North Korea and attended an annual fashion show in Pyongyang with 1,000 fashion fans, according to British media The Daily Mail.

The fashion show featured suits for women with silhouettes reminiscent of those from the Western runways in the 1960s.

"The skirts overall do seem a wee bit shorter nowadays," noted Pan. The colors also seem to be bolder.

The clothes reportedly will be available for purchase at shops across North Korea after fashion week.
