In the early morning of August 2, a special event was held in London. Invited by the International Olympic President Jacques Rogge and London Mayor Boris Johnson, China’s night of London Olympic was held grandly on local time August 1st at the Barbican Centre. If you are careful enough, you will find a fashion show particularly eye-catching, of which silk dress in the show is just from Zhejiang. Amazing, isn’t it?
