Tearsheet By Adele Cardani.
Helen Winkle, a.k.a @baddiewinkle on Instagram, began her rise to internet fame in 2013. Now, with almost 4 million followers she has created a widely adored image and name for herself. She is known for her outrageous and colorful outfits, and engaging in youth slang (her Instagram bio reads “stealing ur man since 1928”), and is doing it all at 92 years old.

4. Alojz Abram
On a slightly different end of the spectrum, we have Alojz Abram (someone who I have personally followed on Instagram for a while), the 74-year-old who rose to internet fame after being photographed by his grandson in popular streetwear. Streetwear that has emerged into the fashion scene in the recent years has a certain hype to it that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon, and Alojz can always be found in the latest, and usually exclusive hard to get items on the market such as Off-White Nikes or Supreme t-shirts.
