The secret to 73-year-old Asami Naito's radiant look lies in her curiosity to challenge herself as she ages!
Asami Naito was born in Tokyo. About five years ago, she shared her daily life on social platforms with her daughter Saori, which attracted people's attention. She wears high-end brands such as Dior and Celine as well as affordable clothes, making people feel the fun of fashion. Photos taken with a stylish husband have also become the fairy love that young people yearn for.
"I am where I am today because of the support of my family."
"Fashion is my source of energy," said 73-year-old Asami Naito. Wearing high-end brand collections, high heels, and impactful jewelry, she quickly became a hot topic, and was dubbed the "fashion grandma."
Asami, who has attracted much attention as a fashion leader, started sharing herself through SNS and blogs after turning 60. She also said updates would only be made with follow-up from the family. " It all started as a hobby blog started by my daughter Saori about six years ago. Thanks to the support of my family, I am where I am today."
Asami is a humble person with a gentle personality, no discrimination, and can get along with everyone. However, her character was very shy when she was young.
While living abroad between the UK and France for work, she realized the joy of dressing fashionably with confidence and the importance of having self-confidence.
"Unlike the Japanese, foreigners often tell us directly what they think. I often get compliments on my clothes from people I don't know, which definitely gives me confidence. I think my ability to actively communicate with a variety of people and my life abroad have had a big impact on me."
"For me, fashion is one of the joys of life. . I want to enjoy fashion until I die, no matter how old I am. Don’t think, ‘I can’t…’ I wear whatever I want and go out. I think fashion has the power to make people positive, and if fashion changes, your personality will change. ”
Asami attracts people around her with her overwhelming presence. A persuasive and powerful message should actively support women of all ages, including the younger generation.
