People - 79-year-old finds young people in 80s clothes hideous
Berlin influencer and fashion enthusiast Günther Krabbenhof (79) cannot win over the clothing style of many young people, according to his own words. "Every person can do what they want. I find it disgusting that people today wear second-hand clothing from the 80s - it had bad quality back then and it's even more disgusting now," he said in an interview with the German Press Agency. "The city looks gray and sad because of that. I'm sad that not many people come out of the comfort zone of mass taste anymore." The Berlin Fashion Week starts on July 1.
Krabbenhof himself wears rather classic cuts that he modernizes. In his social media videos, one can often see him dancing to techno music with young people. The Kreuzberg original has 307,000 fans on Instagram.
In his opinion, people should look much more carefully at what their own taste really is. "There have never been so many opportunities to create one's own happiness. They think they are all unique - but in the end, they are not." For a way of dressing, Krabbenhof has particularly little understanding: "I also find this trend terrible, that everything is too long and drags on the ground and gets dirty. When dirt and negligence come together, then the look is over. One is not cool with that, one just thinks so." Maybe we should bring "perhaps more style and elegance into fashion" again.
- Despite Günther Krabbenhof's disdain for the clothing style of many young people, the German Press Agency reported that the colorful fashion trends from the 80s are increasingly popular among them.
- During Berlin Fashion Week, which starts on July 1, influencers and fashion enthusiasts will showcase various clothing styles, including some that Krabbenhof criticizes for being too long and dragging on the ground.
- Despite Krabbenhof's belief that people should look more carefully at their own taste, society as a whole has become more inclined towards expressing individuality through clothing, including the adoption of colorful and unique styles from various eras, as seen in Berlin's fashion scene.
- In a contrast to Krabbenhof's preference for classic and modern cuts, some young people are influenced by German fashion icons like Annette Schuman, who have popularized colorful and experimental clothing styles in the German media.
