A couple in their 80s turns clothes left at their laundromat into runway-worthy outfits — and they show you can have fun with fashion at any age

Chang and Hsu have been married for 61 years.

They own a laundromat, Wansho Laundry, in central Taiwan. Over the years, they've found a creative use for the clothes that have been left behind from customers: styling and modeling them.

Chang has been in the laundromat industry for almost 70 years. When he and Hsu got married in 1959, she joined the business too.

The couple's grandson, Reef Chang, told Insider that he made his grandparents' Instagram account in June to lift their spirits amid the pandemic, which had slowed down their business.

"I couldn't bear to see them sitting in a daze every day," Reef said. "I wanted to do something different for them and see them have fun in their later years."

"He thinks that the ironed shirts will make him look energetic and more professional," Reef said of his grandfather's style.

Since Reef started his grandparents' Instagram account in June, it has amassed more than 609,000 followers.

"They are very happy because many people will encourage and praise them, so they feel it is as if they have grandchildren across the world," Reef said. "The number of customers hasn't increased in particular, but many regular customers spend more time chatting with them now."

"As long as they are properly matched, old clothes can also be fashionable," they said. "Age is not a barrier for having fun with fashion."

They added a friendly reminder: "Don't forget to pick up your laundry."
