Age-old Lijin brocade takes center stage

A fashion show featuring Lijin, a type of brocade originating from the Li ethnic group in China's Hainan province, and Miao embroidery of the Miao ethnic group in Guizhou province, was held in Beijing on Friday night as part of the 2020 China Fashion Week.

Designers from Beijing-based Eve Group used patterns from costumes of the Li and Miao ethic groups, dyeing techniques of Lijin, and embroidering skills from Miao people to create a modern style.
