85-Year-Old Farmer Transformed By Grandson Into Fashion Icon

ADVERTISEMENT

This man is not a fashion model, although you could be forgiven for thinking so. No, this 85-year-old man, a resident of rural Fujian Province, China, is a simple farmer that’s undergone a remarkable transformation.

First noticed on Chinese social media site Weibo, these pictures were posted by XiaoYeJieXi photography. The photographer behind the shoot decided to give his grandfather a fashion-makeover, and give him a tour of the city. Be sure to check out the before-and-after shots!

More info: weibo (h/t: mymodernmet)

Does this old man look like a farmer to you?

The photographer behind XiaoYeJieXi decided to take his grandfather on a tour of the town…

…and to dress him up in some more fashionable digs for the day!

Now, this old grandpa looks like a model from GQ

Wow beautiful... everything is in the eyes and ulimately in the heart: the grandson likes his grandfather very much and sees how handsome he is and how much style he has.... it just takes some little tuning to make it visible and the result is a real beautiful collection of fashion and heartwarming emotion between ages with each their own great values. This beauty fits everyone, just make it visible. It is art to look beyond the ordinary and to make it visible.

I absolutely love this! The grandfather looks amazing, but the bond between grandchild and grandparent is something super special! I love my grandparents SO much, they are all stars in their own way. I think this post is great, and I think more ppl should realize how awesome their older generations truly are. We get so lost in being younger and forgetting that they've already been in our shoes and forget the wealth of knowledge they have from being there. We feel that we don't have a lot in common, but the older we get, the more we have in common than you will ever know if you don't take the time to know your elders!

He looks great both ways. He clearly has a good sense of humour.
