China's changing fashion since 1978 (3/17)

File photo taken in March of 1979 shows models presenting creations by French designer Pierre Cardin at the Cultural Palace of Nationalities in Beijing, capital of China. Since the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy put forward during the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1978, China has taken on a wholly new look, and the conception of fashion is changing day by day as new messages and ways of life update the thinking of Chinese people.
