The eye-catching face-kini has released its 6.0 version this August in Qingdao, East China's Shandong province. According to Zhang Shifan, designer of the face-kini, her original intention was to prevent swimmers from getting hurt by jellyfish when she first invented the face-kini in 2004. The 6.0 version, themed with the 10 most endangered species such as giant panda, Chinese alligator and Siberian tiger, aims to raise public awareness of endangered species. "I will keep designing and try to make it a fashion icon both at home and abroad," said Zhang.
