The stylish senior citizen, surnamed Chen, is a vegetable vendor that resides in the countryside of Shaoyang, central China's Hunan Province. However, the-60-year-old's passion is in designing clothes--and he never misses a chance to show off his latest work to his neighbors.

Chen typically designs summer wear. He is known to even wear his designs during the dead of winter. However, the sprightly senior claims he rarely feels the cold or gets ill.

While locals get to see his latest designs, Chen says he dreams of holding a fashion show for his clothes at a park in the city and see his works make their way down the catwalk.
