同学们，你对时尚的理解是什么？时尚是一个时期的流行风气与社会环境，时尚引领潮流，是流行文化的表现之一。时尚可以指任何生活中的事物，例如，时尚发型、时尚人物、时尚生活、潮流品牌、潮流服饰等。让我们看下面两篇小短文，进一步理解时尚吧。

During the hot summer， we often go to the beach in nice swimsuits. Now， a swimsuit with the Dunhuang mural patterns will make you surprised！

The swimsuit draws a deer pattern on its front. The idea is not from the designers， it is from the mural The Deer King. People found the mural in the cave of the Mogao Grottoes.

Right now， you can buy the swimsuit on Dunhuang Taobao.

Seeing the success of the Palace Museum， many more Chinese museums learn from it and also try to work with Taobao to introduce their cultural and creative products. In this way， more visitors experience the national treasures in a better way.

“By working with Taobao， we make more new products. We hope to combine traditional culture and modern fashion together. So， the visitors， especially young people， will be happy to know more about the Dunhuang culture，” said Shi Mingxiu， the curator of Dunhuang Museum.

Qipao is a one-piece Chinese dress that was born in the 17th century. It was traditionally made of silk， a comfortable cloth. The style of the qipao has developed over the years and people still wear qipao today because it shows the unique beauty of Chinese women.

The qipao was wide and loose in the past. It would hide a womans body， except her head， hands， and feet. In the 1920s in Shanghai， the qipao was updated and became popular.

The qipao now is more fitting. It has a high cut on one or both sides. It may be sleeveless and made of different materials， not only silk.

Now， people do not wear qipao every day. They usually wear qipao on special occasions， like weddings or parties.

There is a fashion show in Grade 7. The fashion show begins at about 6 p.m. on Monday. Many students and teachers will go for the fashion show.

Sam looks smart in a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I think white shirts look clean. I like his design best because the shirt is comfortable， and jeans are popular among students.
