Aussie alpacas a Chinese fashion hit
The Age - November 1 2006
Two Australian-born alpacas and their creamy coloured fleece have proved major hits with Chinese fashionistas at Shanghai Fashion week.Led by two handsome male models, Qiangqiang and Lili strutted calmly down the catwalk before a thrilled crowd and a mass of photographers at the first ever showcase of Australian fashion in Shanghai.
The woolly pair were the star attractions in a parade of luxury items from the newly created Australian Alpaca Connections label.
