Could lederhosen for ladies be the next big thing in China?
Lederhosen are probably one of the most laughed at pieces of clothing (even as a German myself, I think they're not really that suited for modern day wardrobes), but apparently the traditional Bavarian shorts are making a comeback... in the form of lederhosen for ladies.
Or not. Perhaps its just a rebellious fashion statement made by "this young high school student who hopes to be a graphic designer," as Stylites in Beijing called her.
