Older people are often overlooked in today's fast-paced world, which is worrying, especially in China, which is home to the world's fastest aging population.

However, one Chinese photographer is proving that older people are ever relevant — especially fashion-wise — by pointing her lens in their direction.

In 2018, Xin Qiao began Senior Fashion Hub (SFH) to spread the message that older people can still serve fierce #lewks.

Scrolling through @seniorfashionhub's Instagram feed is a lesson in bright colors, mismatched prints, and don't-give-a-fuck attitudes.

The photography platform is a celebration of evergreen style, especially among elders, but also draws attention to youth culture since inspiration can come from anywhere.
