"Halftime with the man himself: Harald Gloockler celebrates his 60th birthday"
Fashion Designer Harald Glööckler Remains a Popular Figure, Especially Among Young Audience
Berlin - The controversial fashion designer, Harald Glööckler, has made a significant presence on social media with his heated debates on the reality show "My Style Rocks." As a result, he has captured the attention of a new generation with his "hardcore fan base" primarily aged between six and 18 years old.
Glööckler, who celebrates his 60th birthday today, has been a public figure for years. Known for his jet-black beard, makeup, extravagant clothing, eye-catching jewelry, and glitter, he continues to create new products, ranging from fashion to jewelry, home accessories, and travel goods. He built his empire through home shopping and marketing his brand.
In a pragmatic conversation over the phone, Glööckler said, "I've never been 60 before, so I don't know how I'll feel. For me, life is just getting started now, maybe it's halftime." He plans to celebrate his birthday with a grand party at the Scharmützelsee in Brandenburg.
In his upcoming autobiography, "Disastrous to Fabulous," Glööckler writes about being impressed by shiny and glittering objects since childhood. However, his early life was marked by a brutal father in difficult circumstances, as he describes in the book. At six years old, he designed his first dress for his aunt - a black lace dress in the Empire style with a golden lining.
Glööckler opened his first store in 1987 in Stuttgart and launched his label "Pompooös" in 1990, adding a double 'o' to his name. He gained fame through home shopping and mass-market fashion.
Open about his cosmetic surgeries, Glööckler has undergone procedures to improve his body shape, including removing fat from his abdomen and waist. In his autobiography, he gracefully handles the ongoing speculation about the number and cost of his cosmetic surgeries.
After spending some time in Kirchheim an der Weinstraße, Glööckler has been living in Berlin for about two years. For the reality show "My Style Rocks," he frequently travels from the capital to Istanbul for filming with several suitcases in tow.
Clips from the show featuring heated exchanges with contestants have gone viral online, contributing to his growing popularity among young audiences. Despite some controversies, Glööckler remains a recognizable figure, even among his younger fans.
Glööckler doesn't dwell on his accomplishments or what others write about him. He prefers to focus on staying healthy and being happy daily. With around 628,000 followers on Instagram and about 248,500 on TikTok, he continues to captivate a wide audience.
Although details about his autobiography, "Disastrous to Fabulous," such as a release date and specific content, are yet to be announced, fans eagerly anticipate learning more about his life and career. In the meantime, Glööckler remains an engaging and entertaining figure in the world of fashion and entertainment.
