The latest streetwear sensation isn’t another millennial decked out in Supreme. It’s 71-year-old Alojz Abram, who became famous after the photos his grandson, Jannik Diefenbach, took of him wearing Supreme camp caps and Thrasher hoodies went viral this past January. “It was my idea to take photos of his outfit,” Diefenbach said, “but surprisingly, he liked it more than I expected. The first ones were kind of awkward to do because he’s never really stood in front of a camera and modeled. But now he does it like it’s his job.” 

Abram, a retired gaffer, was born in Slovenia but has lived in Mainz, a small town in Germany about 40 minutes outside of Frankfurt, for the last 49 years. His interest in streetwear began about a year ago, though he admits the culture isn’t huge in his neighborhood. He doesn’t mind it though; he likes to stand out and be different.
