"From October 1, there is also no place in the university for mini-skirts, flip-flops, heavy make-up, inappropriate fashion accessories, or unkempt fingernails and hair," the letter continued.

The rector did make an allowance for lighter clothing during warm summer days, prompting some students to make the underwear protest. The protesters included male and female students.
One of the student protestors said they were dressed appropriately but the weather was warm so they removed their clothes to keep their bodies from overheating.
Another protest will be held on Oct. 7 with students planning to wear flip-flops and bring beach towels

According to the new code, women will have to wear long skirts or trousers and a blouse and jacket, while avoiding low neck-lines, heavy make-up and inappropriate fashion accessories.
From universities to fashion shows, topless protests, it seems, have become a trend to attract attention and express disagreement of a certain cause
A Paris fashion show, topless Femen female activists stormed the catwalk in a Nina Ricci fashion show. Topless activists came crashing on the podium and grabbed a surprised model on the catwalk.
The topless protestors screamed "Fashion fascism!" along with other words decrying the sexual emphasis of the modeling industry. Their protest words were written in make-up across their chests and torsos.
The topless activists were escorted off the podium to avoid disrupting the show. Like all other topless protests, their actions spread as photos of them topless and raising their arms were circulated in the Internet.
