Normally, age is a hindrance to style; Günther Krabbenhöft and Britt Kanja brought it down with panache. This dynamite duo proves fashion is not for the young; it’s for those who are bold, confident, and who took every street as their personal runway.
At 75, Krabbenhöft still stops traffic in his three-piece suits, perfectly accented with classic hats and pocket squares. His partner in style, Kanja, simply exudes elegance with statement accessories and timelessly chic dresses that make every outing a showstopper. In their small way, they reflect the fact that fashion is not about your age but about your attitude.
From Viral Sensation to Fashion Icon
Krabbenhöft caused a stir around the world five years ago, when pictures of his dapper attire went viral. Who can forget that iconic look: a bowtie, a fitted vest, tapered jeans, and lace-up boots? That one outfit propelled him into the fame stratosphere of Berlin’s fashion scene, and he hasn’t looked back since.
Today, Krabbenhöft is so much more than a viral sensation. He’s a model represented by MARTA PR and the author of Just Be Yourself—You’re Never Too Old to Be Young. He shares some of the wisdom he has acquired over time in his book. “No matter what happens, even if you feel like you have failed in life, there will come a day when you see your weakness as your greatest strength,” reflects Krabbenhöft. Looking back, I can see now how even my darkest days had their value.”
A Life Well-Lived, in Style
Infected optimism and gratefulness towards life, Krabbenhöft managed to win a reputation for something much more than just a fashion character. His social media feeds are full of vivid photos, also capturing his stunning outfits, fun moments with Britt Kanja, and adventures around Berlin’s cultural hot spots. Both of them share the lust for life, style, and to be among people of all ages.
As Günther Krabbenhöft and Britt Kanja remind us, true style does not fade with age but instead evolves, matures, and becomes even more inspiring. It is the living, breathing proof that fashion has no age and the world is indeed their runway.
