Chinese artist Zhao Bandi has brought social conscience to the fashion conscious, kicking off this year’s China Fashion Week by using his trademark panda to highlight unresolved social problems.
Models dressed as street sweepers, beggars, corrupt officials and even the World Trade Organisation, which has tussled with the rising economic power, hit the catwalk at the Bandi Panda collection, all in black and white outfits, representing the panda’s colors.
