For Yuekou, a new fashion store in China that focuses on teen clothing, oldies can be teens. This was after they used Liu Xianping, a 72-year-old grandpa, as main model.
Xianping got the job after he gave his granddaughter Ms. Lv some fashion advice during a recent photoshoot. The girl decided to keep snapping photos and eventually declared the 72-year-old grandpa their official model.
According to Ms. Lv said, Xianping picked up one piece and tried to give some advice on how to mix and match. They thought it was fun so they started shooting. In effect, Yahoo Finance reports that, since Liu’s photos have popped up online, the clothing store has seen its sales skyrocket.
According to Liu Xianping:
“Why is it unacceptable for someone like me to wear women’s clothes? Modeling for the store is helping my granddaughter and I have nothing to lose. We were very happy on the day of the shooting. I’m very old and all that I care about is to be happy.”
Having a 72-year-old grandpa model for a teen fashion line may sound strange, but Liu said that he is happy to help his granddaughter. According to him, modeling for the store is helping his granddaughter and he has nothing to lose.
