It might be a country known for its rejection of outside influences, but North Korea finally looks to be catching up with the rest of the world in terms of fashion.
Pyongyang, the socialist country's capital, now sees many women walking its streets in high-heeled shoes and wearing figure-hugging clothes. They also sport contemporary east Asian hairstyles and carry smart handbags.
Men too have started to wear more flattering clothes; clothes such as tight shirts with sharper, harder collars. Skinny trousers, however, are not yet fashionable there.
Ten years ago, Pyongyang residents walked around in loose-fitting, utilitarian outfits like the "Jumper" - a khaki, military-style zip-fronted top and trouser suit that was favoured by North Korea's previous leader, Kim Jong Il.
The country's current leader, King Jong-un tends to favour dark military-style suits.
Kim Su Jong, a Pyongyang citizen, said: "nowadays it's clear that clothes have become very bright. In the past the colours were a little dark."
Clothes, shoes, and accessories and now more easily available with most imported from China.
Despite the evolving fashion, jeans are still unpopular in North Korea.
"We don't have to like jeans", Kim Su Jong added. "Why should I wear that kind of jeans, it looks ugly, we have our own style."
