What Ali wore !

He is an 83-year-old Turkish tailor who has been living in Germany for the past 44 years. He has 18 kids, and an impeccable sense of style.Many of the clothes Ali wears were handmade by him, and he rarely wears the same thing twice.Every morning at 9:05 AM sharp, a strikingly dapper octogenarian walks by Zoe Spawton's coffee shop on his way to work in the Berlin borough of Neukölln.
She started to run a blog dedicated to˝What Ali wore˝.
After getting his permission, of course!
Spawton and Ali have bonded over the course of their joint project, and Spawton says she now considers them to be close.
Word of Ali's new-found fame has even reached his native land  where he is seen as a fashion maverick, breaking down age barriers in a world typically ruled by Bright Young Things.
And it seems Ali's might not be minding his accidental celebrity, either.
Writes Spawton in her latests blog entry With the help of Google Translate I tried to explain to Ali today that he might be recognised on the u-bahn…He seemed quite pleased." Take a look!
