The students used a number of new materials in their design to explore more possibilities.

As part of the exchange program, the Tsinghua graduates will visit Milan to take part in the graduate design show NABA students’ in July.

"Clothing is like the house of human body. So we need to develop a system that de-socialize the cloths," said Miao Ran, a teacher of NABA.

"Unisex is definitely a trend in the future," he said.
