Look closely and you might notice that this isn't your average female fashion model. Liu Xianping, a 72-year-old man from China, has shot to fame after photos of him modelling his granddaughter's fashion designs went viral. The grandfather posed in various outfits from the fashion store Yuekou for a joke, but soon, the pictures had been shared all around the world, and his granddaughter was experiencing record sales.
Ms Lv Ting told China Newsweek: "He picked up one piece and tried to give some advice on how to mix and match. We thought it was fun so we started shooting."
And it seems, Liu is enjoying his newfound talent: "Modelling for the store is helping my granddaughter and I have nothing to lose," he told China Newsweek.
"We were very happy on the day of the shooting. I’m very old and all that I care about is to be happy."
We'd be happy too, with pins like his! Take a look through the photos of Liu's modelling debut...

Aww, I think this is super sweet and he looks cute! At least we don't have to worry and say "Oh, even if I bought those clothes, I'd never look like her in them" like you do when you see super gorgeous, thin models - if he looks fabulous in the clothes, we all will!

So not only women are lead to believe that the epitome in fashion is to look like men...now we are encouraged to look like old men? Viva China, viva!!! We know men adore curves I don’t understand why some fashion label insist on hiding them #Iwillnotbeborrowingmyclothestoany72yocrazyqueenfullstop
