More than 1,400 graduates from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology were the first to wear a new design of graduation robes for their commencement ceremony this week.
The graduation gown, created by the institute's fresh graduate Li Jiapei, consists of a long robe and a cape. The gown has a special element - a standing collar - borrowed from Mao suits.
On the cape is a thick layer of light blue, and there are embroideries on the sleeves and collars. These patterns are inspired by BIFT's school badge.
