中國製造的臉基尼正風靡澳大利亞

The Face-Kini is shaping up to be this year's biggest summer trend in Australia, offering people a unique way to help prevent skin cancer.

臉基尼正成爲澳洲今夏最大的潮流，爲人們提供了一種有助於預防皮膚癌的獨特方法。

Originating in China and made from swimsuit material, the bizarre balaclava-style piece covers the user's entire head, leaving slits for just the eyes, nose and mouth.

這種奇異的巴拉克拉式頭套源於中國，由泳裝材料製成，能遮住使用者的整個頭部，只在眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴處留下縫隙。

The functional fashion item was invented by former accountant Zhang Shifan in Qingdao in 2004, to help Chinese women protect their delicate skin from the sun's rays.

這種功能性的時尚單品由青島的前會計師張式範於2004年發明，以幫助中國女性保護嬌嫩的肌膚免受日光灼曬。

The full-face covering also helps stop jellyfish stings and algae.

全臉覆蓋的臉基尼還有助於防止水母蟄咬和海藻。

Now the Face-Kini has proven so popular that more than 30,000 are sold every year.

如今事實證明臉基尼大受歡迎，其年銷量超過3萬件。

And the fashion accessory has even begun moving outside China's borders, with the item appearing in photo shoots alongside swimsuits from Gucci and Armani.

這件時尚配飾甚至開始走出國門，與古馳、阿瑪尼的泳衣一起出現在攝影作品中。

"I will keep designing and try to make it a fashion icon both at home and abroad," Zhang said.

張式範表示：“我將堅持設計，讓臉基尼成爲國內外的時尚標誌。”
