Kitschy cloth turns high fashion
A bright red and green kitschy floral print that was everywhere in the 1980s in China has been reincarnated into high fashion by a Chinese designer, raising eyebrows on the Internet.
Sheguang Hu revived the pattern in his avant-garde fashion, which he sent down the runway at China Fashion Week on Wednesday.
Internet users joked that the jaw-dropping fashions were "Chinese vintage quilt style", referring to the pattern's ubiquitous use in thick cotton clothes in the 80s.
