These Berlin retirees have become style icons with their stunning outfits

Berliners Gunther Krabbenhöft and Britt Kanya are clearly not those who believe that life ends with retirement. Quite the contrary: having gone on a well-deserved rest, stylish Kanya and Krabbenhöft began to live for their own pleasure and became famous all over the world thanks to their inherent elegance, brightness and cheerfulness.

Today, 76-year-old Gunther and 70-year-old Britt have become an integral part of the cultural life of the German capital: not a single exhibition or performance can do without them, and the easiest way to catch them is on the dance floor, where they dashingly dance, eclipsing even the young and energetic.

Before becoming "hipster grandfather" (as he was nicknamed on the Internet), Gunther worked as a chef and secretly dreamed of a more glamorous occupation. In retirement, he finally mustered the courage to let his personal style unfold and flourish. He started working as a model and became a regular at the most fashionable clubs in the capital - always in good spirits and wearing a bowler hat.

Britt, on the other hand, was a dancer and toured the world for many years before returning to her hometown and opening a nightclub there, earning the nickname “the grand ladies of Berlin's nightlife”. Because of the impeccable outfits (which, by the way, she draws and sews herself), the diva is often compared to the legendary Audrey Hepburn.

Britt and Gunter, by their own example, prove to their peers (and not only!) That the main thing in life is mood and self-expression. Well, and a pinch of style.
