Cardin went to China and received permission to stage two fashion shows there in March. When Teng went to Japan his wife and the wives of four other officials on the trip were turned out in trimly cut silk jackets and pants, an elegant change from the monochrome Mao suits that were for years the Chinese woman's revolutionary uniform...
