Grandpa model Liu Qiangping said, "One day I walked into the room and saw them packing up some clothes. And I thought they looked quite interesting and quite cute. So I tried on a jacket and they found it really funny, and I thought it was quite funny. So they asked if they could take pictures of me and post them on the Internet to sell the clothes. And I said, 'why not?'"
Liu, who has the nick-name "MaDiGaGa", which literally means "funny elderly", is now one of China's most recognised models.
Liu says he sometimes looks at fashion programs on television for ideas on how to pose but generally relies on direction from Lu's team. But he does, however, have his own opinions on styling.
