Photo Gallery 'What Ali Wore'
The first photo that blogger Zoe Spawton took of Ali was on Aug. 25, 2012. After noticing him pass by the cafe where she works each morning "wearing great clothes," Spawton asked if she could take his portrait.
Here, the octogenarian is seen in early September 2012 wearing head-to-toe camouflage. Spawton, 29, is an Australian photographer who has lived in Berlin for almost a year.
Later in September Ali turned up in an all-denim get-up.
On Oct. 10, 2012 the father of 18 posed for Spawton in this grey ensemble topped off with a cap, which Spawton described as "just wonderful" on her blog.
On Oct. 16, 2012, Ali chose a gangster-style suit with cool sunglasses. The Turkish tailor once worked as a doctor and has lived in Berlin for 44 years, Spawton says.
But he was feeling a bit more casual on Nov. 1, 2012, when he chose this parka, "one of Alis coolest outfits," according to Spawton.
Two weeks later, Ali donned what Spawton called his "Wall Street trench coat."
Then in early December 2012 he rocked this velour jacket. Spawton says she has been inundated with interview requests since her blog went viral in recent days. She usually works as a food, music and news photographer.
After a mid-December snowfall in Berlin, Ali wore Doc Martens in a photo that Spawton called "snow bear."
In mid-November, Ali chose berry hues in one of his brightest outfits featured on the blog.
