Is China Going Burkha?

Umm, I think you're missing the point of a burkha, which is to hide the female form so that Muslim men aren't forced by the sight of a female ankle to rape a woman who's the property of another Muslim man.

These avante garde fashions from China accentuate the female form, while concealing the identities of the women wearing them.

I don't like the face masks, but the paper-cut designs and fabric textures are amazing. I think their hats were modeled on a martini olive, a balloon stem, and an umbilical cord.
