Their grandson, Reef Chang, the 'mastermind' behind these posts, reportedly said that he wanted people to see that age is not a restriction element when it comes to having an interest in fashion. He also stated that he saw his grandparents getting bored at work and felt like doing something to change that. The 31-year-old stylist then stated that his grandfather loves wearing a suit because he wants people to see that he has mastery over washing and ironing clothes.

He also added that his grandfather feels that if you look dirty and run a laundry service, you will not create any goodwill for your business. Talking about his grandmother, the stylist said that when she was young, she was a “fashionable girl”. She has two wardrobes full of clothes that are very similar to that of the stars from her generation.
