For the next 2017 spring/summer, Ferutdin Zakirov, an Uzbekistan-born businessman and designer, presents an impeccable Italian style, made of whispered luxury, formal but never dull, with a precise attention to detail and elegance

Not only a businessman, but also a gentleman. This is how Ferutdin Zakirov presents his ideal man for the next 2017 spring/summer. A Gentlemanager. One of those refined and cosmopolitan characters that effortlessly merges business and pleasure. The businessman and designer, originally from Uzbekistan, has given them a new wardrobe divided into three acts and made entirely in Italy by master tailors that he relies on habitually to make his creations.

But the eyes of the gentleman also fall on shoes. Moccasins and classic lace ups alternate with more daring car shoes and slippers in embroidered suede. High-quality leather such as crocodile and python play a starring role and as always the attention to detail is everywhere. Every accessory and every proposal of this collection has its own identity of style that makes it instantly recognisable, but also perfectly combinable with others, in a coherent game of aesthetic cross references.

This is the modus operandi of the designer born in 1967 in Ta kent, who made his debut at Milan Menswear in January 2016 opening his first showroom in Via Manzoni, 23. In March 2016, he opened his first flagship store in Moscow’s Red square followed in May 2016 by the first Italian flagship store in Milan.
