Insta Fashionistas: Taiwan Couple Running Laundry Service Pose In People's Forgotten Clothes
The couple have been operating a laundry in Taiwan for the past 70 years, and over the years piles of skirts, suits, shirts and socks have been left behind by forgetful customers.
It’s never too late to take the ‘gram’ by storm and Hsu Husiu-e and her husband Chang Wan-ji, both in their eighties, are proof.
The couple have been operating a laundry in Taiwan for the past 70 years, and over the years piles of skirts, suits, shirts and socks have been left behind by forgetful customers. But what the couple, and their grandson, did with the forgotten items has caught the internet's attention.
Instead of letting the clothes just lie around, the couple's grandson, Reef Chang, decided to turn things around by making them pose with it.
Their account named Want Show as Young, shows the couple sporting a mix-and-match of everything, from crop tops to jackets, accessorised with sunglasses and even berets.
“My grandpa has been running this business for almost 70 years, and ever since my childhood days, when I used to help them at the shop, I saw them reminding people ‘don’t forget to pick up your laundry’.”
"These old clothes have been abandoned by customers at the laundry for years. Owners of the laundry store, Wanji and Sho-Er who are over 80 years old. Grandson just can't bear to see them overwhelmed with bore everyday. So, ask them to reinterpret fashion, hoping to let everyone know that age is not a barrier to have fun in fashion and even old clothings can transformed into trendy outfits!," reads a post on Want Show as Young.
