The perfect picture: fashion designer Claes Iversen loses points on styling: ‘Very messy’
‘Proud and grateful’
In the message, Iversen says that he has taken major steps since the helm and physically. “I had a second chance to live and I seized it,” he writes. “I now dare to share it with the world because I have never felt so happy, healthy and satisfied … But above all I am proud and grateful.”
The ‘Coming Out’ by Claes can count on thousands of likes, including many Dutch celebrities such as Chantal Janzen, Isa Hoes, Buddy Vedder, Rik van de Westelaken and Bridget Maasland.
