This 80 year old designer is both a fashion creative and model.
When it comes to dreams, there really is no expiration date. That is why I find stories like that of Liao Dezhong so inspiring. Dezhong may be an 80 years old model, but he still manages to both design eccentric dresses, and wear them elegantly them for the entire Internet to see.
Dezhong, a widower from the Sichuan province has designed and modeled over 10 of his own creations. They’re flowy garments that have gone viral all over the world, and he’s using them as his flag of self-expression.

Dezhong’s dress designs were inspired by his own experience of being pickpocketed, so he makes sure each dress has plenty of pockets and zippers to carry everything a woman might need.
So far Dezhong hasn’t tried to make any money on his clothes, he just likes making them and showing them off and being the only famous 80 year old model we’ve ever heard of.
Can you honestly say you are doing anything half as worthwhile with your life?
