Chutian Metropolis Daily, May 12 (reporter Wangjun photojournalist Zou Bin correspondent Zhu Sufang) When you are more than 70 years old, can you still step on the "hate the sky" and walk on the catwalk to blind everyone's eyes? At 7:30 tonight, 100 old ladies staged a wedding show with international standards in Wuhan.
When the lights came on, 100 old ladies who stepped on 25 centimeters of "hate the sky", wore gorgeous wedding dresses, and painted exquisite makeup walked onto the catwalk in turn, and the international supermodel aura shocked the audience.
Of the old ladies, 38 are model performance enthusiasts from Wuhan, with an average age of 55. In March this year, they also attended China International Fashion Week.
Among them, the 62-year-old Li Ke was originally a worker of the Wuhan Railway Bureau, and only after retirement did he start to engage in model performances and join the model group of the Provincial University for the Elderly. Li Ke said that she loves modeling performances, "When I saw the 78-year-old supermodel Han Bin walking on the catwalk at major fashion weeks on the Internet, I was very excited, and I also wanted everyone to see that the elderly are actually very beautiful and fashionable!" The famous designer Hu Sheguang, receiving an invitation from The Jianghan District of Wuhan City, moved his clothing studio from Beijing to the Hongt Fashion Industrial Park in Jianghan District. After Li Ke and several sisters heard about it, they found Hu Sheguang, and the two sides hit it off and established this "fashion girl army" with an average age of 55 years old. Their first stop was the opening show of China International Fashion Week in Beijing in March this year.
For last night's wedding show, the models prepared for nearly a month, and they had to walk 5 to 6 hours a day in training. Because the heel is too high, the need for the toes have a strong strength, long-term training, many elderly people's insteps are worn out, blisters, but they have not cried a bitter. "Without the support of my family, I may not be able to persevere." Li Ke said that she has two grandchildren, and in order to make her feel at ease training, her daughter hired a nanny to take care of the children, not to add a little trouble to her. Also resonating is 57-year-old Hu Mingling. After retiring from Hankou Iron, she entered the Provincial University for the Elderly to study model acting. She said most of the models who attended the show last night were grandma-level figures who had put a lot of time and energy into the cause, and the support of their families was their biggest motivation to keep going.
The 80-year-old Huang Yuqin made her first appearance last night. With silver hair, she smiled and said that she has been retired for more than 20 years, and her body is still very tough, "it is to show the different side of the elderly in China through such activities, change people's stereotypes of 'Chinese big mother', our Old Chinese Lady is so fashionable and energetic!" ”
