Men in Skirts

This Chinese grandfather has created quite a stir recently by modeling his designer granddaughter's collection. What started as a joke-- trying on a few of her designs and vamping about in them-- has turned into a clever marketing scheme. Hardly a new practice, but men in skirts, in public at least, still get noticed right away, and as a result he's become a celebrity and her sales are booming. 

We like the fact that he is clearly enjoying this bout of silliness and his 15 minutes of fame, helping his granddaughter and tweaking the nose of fashion in the process. (Fashion does take itself far too seriously sometimes, believe it or not.)
