'I want world peace': Trump-Kim handshake inspires striking Singapore dress


SINGAPORE (Reuters) - When Singapore's Zahra Khanum takes to the stage for the Miss Universe contest, she will be wearing a dress portraying a historic handshake between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Inspiration for the striking design came from a summit between the old foes in Singapore in June, and the island nation's efforts to build world peace, not its UNESCO heritage site Botanic Gardens, its architecture or diverse culture.
