Fashion Designer Has 86-Year-Old Grandparents Model His Fashion Line

Marie-Louise and René Glémarec are in their late 80s and just walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week. Their grandson is fashion designer Florentin Glémarec. When working on his new line, he had the perfect models in mind: his adorable grandparents! Now, their photos are going viral on the Internet.

Florentin’s company is called Egon Lab and creates unisex clothing. He said that his grandparents have been his biggest support since day one. When some of the clothing pieces were ready, his grandparents tried them on and were so happy. That is when he knew they should model the clothing.

He loved being in front of the crowd.”
