Did your latest OOTD make you think that your fashion sense is on point? Meet Ali, an octogenarian tailor in Germany, who will make you think twice about your outfit choices.
In fact, the photographer who spotted him back in 2012 found herself coming back to take more photos of the 86-year-old over a course of 3 years. Zoe Spawton, the photographer, was so impressed by how Ali managed to look so dapper every single day that she started a blog called ‘What Ali Wore’.
Ali travelled to Germany from Turkey almost 4 decades ago. He gave up on his career as a doctor and became a tailor, which doesn’t come as much of a surprise when you take a look at his flair for fashion:
Barely anyone can carry off a Mickey Mouse tie but Ali rocks it like a boss even at 86!
He wore a red suit to a Turkish wedding and probably looked even better than the groom!
The photographer and Ali have actually developed a friendship even with the language barrier and most photographs are taken during their coffee meet-ups.
Zoe Spawton has made Ali quite famous because of her blog and journalists have often wanted to interview Ali. Well, who wouldn’t want to ask him where he gets his fashion sense from.
