Where did this 80-year-old lady come from to complain that GUCCI is scary?

Have you ever thought about what you will look like when you are nearly 80?

At that time, you loved parties and fashion. Will you still follow fashion trends as much as you do now, wearing the latest hot styles to check in everywhere?

We always say that fashion has no boundaries. Anyone can pursue the fashion they like at any time, but when we falter, do we still have the courage to try?

Bangbang recently came across a video like this. Two old ladies with complicated looks met by chance in a shopping mall, and then the two started chatting happily.

This person just asked "Where is your wife?" and then praised: "She smells good, she is good, she is sweet."

The other side is Hold the other person's hand, smile and say to the camera: "Look at us", and then gently touch the other person's face.

What do you see when you look at them?

Not only are they wearing complete sets of printed suits, you will also find that they are also carefully matched with jewelry. Hats, headdresses, bags and gloves all echo the overall look.

Even their hair, which should have been gray, was dyed blue, purple and red. From head to toe, they were meticulously fashionable.

Friends who are familiar with the fashion industry may know them. Both of them are well-known fashion queens in the industry.

A person named Beatrix Ost was born in Germany in 1940 and is now 81 years old.

Now living in New York with her husband, she is not only a fashion designer, but also an artist, writer, screenwriter, and film producer. Whether it is fashion sense or life, she is full of endless inspiration. vitality.

The "good sister" she is holding on to is named Valerie Von Sobel. She is from Budapest and is now octogenarian.

She is also an out-and-out slash fashion queen. She has been adhering to her own style for many years and dares to try all kinds of exaggerated and retro styles, just like a beautiful witch.

Not only that, she is also an actress and interior designer. Now she is even more passionate about charity. She dresses herself up with a distinctive personality and lives a colorful life.

The two have a really good relationship and have known each other for many years. Although they now live in separate villas in the countryside, they still get together whenever they have free time.

That day was also the first time they met after 2 years, so you can see their reminiscing and unabashed happiness like reuniting old friends.

The most interesting thing is that when these two fashion queens, who have already seen the ups and downs of the fashion industry, walked to the GUCCI window, they also commented on the latest styles of the season.

The comment was really not polite at all: "That mask is so cool, but the rest is a bit scary."

Standing in front of GUCCI and saying that their clothes are scary is an understatement. She also had a firm stance, she was like a queen speaking, and she was not afraid at all.

But he quickly added with a smile: "But I'm not that easily scared."

Although Beatrix next to her knew more about jewelry, she didn't know much about jewelry. Fashion has the same view as Valerie, she said: "Why not?"

She immediately got the approval of her good sisters, "Why not?! Everything is wonderful, we can try everything."

If these words were spoken by a fashionista in their twenties, they might still feel reasonable, but when heard from two 80-year-old ladies, these words represent the courage to try anything. It became so loud and clear that people admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, what is more powerful than words is that when you look at their styles over the years, you will find that "Why not" is by no means a whim, but has already become their life style. slogan.

WHY NOT

As long as I want to, I dare to wear anything

This is indeed the case. Looking back at the outfits of the two people, you will It was found that they started to challenge various styles of modeling early.

Beatrix Ost started learning painting at the age of 12. Since then, this girl with an innate sense of fashion has gradually established her own dressing style.

However, Germany at that time had just experienced World War II. There were no stores to shop in, and everything was bartered.

How can I bear this? So Beatrix began to make her own clothes, and even learned to be a tailor to make clothes for herself.

When I couldn't make clothes, I would wear the old clothes upside down, or turn them inside out, or even tie my father's tie around my waist as a belt. In short, I want to wear what I like and try everything.

It is this attitude of daring to try new things that quickly attracted the attention of the fashion circle.

Perhaps realizing his daughter’s talent in this area, her father said to her: “No one would spend so much money to have someone photographed, but for you, people are interested in you because I know you are very smart."

Later, she naturally had a smooth journey. With her unique sense of fashion, good figure and contagious smile, she appeared on the inside pages of magazines at the age of 17 and traveled through the world. Major fashion weeks.

This intelligence makes her personal style even more obvious.

Beatrix’s most iconic headscarf also comes from the 1950s, just after the war, when women wore headscarves to clean up debris from bombs.

Later, at the Dior fashion show in 1954 and 1955, she was invited to Florence and modeled for the first fashion show there. She also saw the same headscarf, so she used it as a headdress. Her inseparable fashion mark.

Lipstick is an indispensable item and a habit developed since the age of 15. Never worn any color except red.

In her own words: "Red lips have become the first strong impression of beautifying oneself."

The jewelry on her body is also diverse and unique in style, gold , pearls, ceramics, emeralds, jade, all materials are available.

Not to mention the complicated and individual designs, which are really dazzling.

Even though she is an art painter by profession and has spread her paintings around the world, she has never slackened her love for fashion.

One is a talented painter who has been making his own clothes since he was a child, and the other Valerie Von Sobel is a master in the mix and match industry.

For example, in the book "Advanced Style: Older Wiser", the look she appears on the cover of is a mix of Céline, Etro and Charles Anastase as well as local designers Aliona Kononova and Jerell Scott. Works with Lawrence Vrba necklace and vintage hat.

We are all busy looking for complete sets of styles to create a sense of harmony and unity. People have to rely on fancy mix and match to reorganize the harmony. Without some fashion skills, it is really difficult to hold on.

In addition, she is also a "devil" who speaks her mind directly. In fact, you should be able to feel it from her speech at the door of GUCCI.

However, her iconic speech was not just for GUCCI, but for everyone present.

She can still elaborate on her fashion attitude in the previous sentence:

"Obviously, I am not conservative in dressing. I can wear clothes from 6 designers at the same time. This is the typical way I dress."

The next sentence is:

"Even though Lagerfeld is a fxxking Genius, I will never wear Chanel from head to toe."

Of course, the reason why his speech can be so "powerful" is because he is truly talented in both virtue and art.

Although Valerie was born in extremely poor Hungary, she was interested in all kinds of exquisite things since she was a child. After immigrating to other cities, her fashion sense can be regarded as being put to use.

Even though she is not engaged in the fashion industry, her experience as a Hollywood actress and interior designer has allowed her to accumulate a lot of fashion and art knowledge.

Later on, the space design was also unique in style, always complex and balanced, harmonious and playful, which is endlessly memorable. It was even featured in the world-famous architectural design magazine "Architectural Digest" with a history of more than 100 years.

If you take a closer look at her appearance when she was young, she was like a cool queen.

After losing the baby fat, the advantages of the head shape and face shape are more obvious. The face shape is smooth and the head is small and round. It is really suitable to make a big fuss on the head, so it is not a waste of this good head. .

She does know her strengths. In the years since she became famous, her headwear has been wonderful.

It can be a tightly linked metal mesh:

It can also be a black wing:

Or it can be a flapping moth or a white butterfly .

It's even a bird's nest with three eggs.

Or it is not impossible to just order a potted plant to attend the event. (I would like to call it the headwear version + the female version of Cai Kangyong)

In fact, fashion really has little to do with the industry I am engaged in.

It belongs to everyone, and all it needs is love.

WHY NOT

Age does not matter, you can be beautiful at any time

Of course they love fashion, but in this process, what they enjoy most is not See the endless novelty, but when these things appear, how they can use them to fit themselves.

As for their growing age, it will naturally not be an obstacle to their pursuit of fashion.

This is why they look so elegant and beautiful, because they truly understand themselves.

Coincidentally, Valerie also said almost the same thing in the interview.

Of course, with such a mentality, how can you care about other people's opinions? Exaggerated makeup, tattoos, and dyed hair are all available, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Even if you are faltering now, you can still put on a beautiful makeup.

If your hair is inevitably thinning, add a little hairline powder. By the way, I would like to give the "children" watching the video a blue eyeliner that they may not even dare to think of.

To be honest, I was really amazed to see the majesty here.

Obviously he is 80 years old, and his voice is trembling uncontrollably, but the hands that draw the eyeliner are still steady.

And she not only puts on makeup for herself, but can also give boys Renaissance makeup.

Valerie is still 100% confident and knowledgeable about herself when it comes to makeup, and Beatrix is ??even more amazing.

She has dyed her hair since it turned gray. Normally it is blue, but occasionally it will turn purple if she washes it too much. In this way, she has maintained her hair color for more than ten years.

Have you noticed the lightning scar on her forehead that looks like Harry Potter?

In fact, it was because she had skin cancer twice on her forehead, and the second operation left a big hole.

But she was worried that it would change her facial expression, so she told the doctor to make the wound as small as possible, leaving jagged marks on her forehead.

The scar didn’t look good, so I tattooed a lightning pattern on the scar.

To people, this is a reminder of something negative.

But she herself feels that everything has a positive side, and illness is also a lesson in growth.

Today, people can accomplish many things with their faces, and people are becoming obsessed with perfectionism. But what should beauty look like? Does it have anything to do with skin and age?

Just like Beatrix told us in the interview:

"I don't need to look like a girl, I am beautiful myself."

She also said:

"When you're fascinated by someone and they look so alive, that's beautiful."

That's a really cool thing Cool old lady.

And in Valerie’s words, it’s even more queenly:

“Some fashion trends are loud and self-indulgent, and they should never enter the production stage. If your purpose is just to Fashion, then there is a good phrase for you: fashion victim ”

Such a fashion attitude will naturally attract a lot of followers.

Especially after they opened social media, fans who like their lifestyle and attitude continued to gather.

Although it is not comparable to the top traffic of today’s big internet celebrities, the quality of fans is frighteningly high.

Among Beatrix's fans is the New York Post. At the same time, the New York Post also took the initiative to benefit her, describing her as "a senior who has way better style than you."

She directly became the muse of CFDA award-winning fashion designers Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Her brand’s fall 2010 collection was inspired by her.

So how can age be a hindrance to them?

I only hope that time will be kind enough to allow such a beautiful woman to experience more of the beauty of life.

But they themselves are very open-minded:

“Because we know we don’t have endless time, we now tend to use these years. You can almost call it a second adolescence. . This is a reawakening of the end. ”

Second adolescence.

Perhaps this is what they use to describe the period after entering old age, but I don’t think it is appropriate enough.

Because their curiosity, bravery, and optimism have never faded, their adolescence has never left them.

Youth has nothing to do with age, and fashion and beauty have nothing to do with age.

The stages of life's journey should not be divided into various stages, just like beauty should not have any definition.

When we pursue fashion when we are young, we are curiously exploring the world. When we are older, we still pursue fashion to please ourselves.

In this process, we experience, take risks, accumulate, gradually lose some self-restraint, give up some red tape of dressing, and finally find our own aesthetic consciousness.

How lucky they are to understand themselves at a young age, dress for themselves, and make fashion an interesting adventure again and again.

And we are also walking on the same path enthusiastically and firmly.
