A school in Japan has adopted Giorgio Armani uniforms for students, triggering criticism in a country where hefty tuition fees are already burdening young parents.
Taimei Elementary School in Tokyo’s upmarket Ginza shopping district has announced plans to introduce the optional Italian designer uniforms, which cost more than 80,000 yen (£525) for a full set.
The uniform came under attack in the country’s parliament on Thursday.
