Nikolai Golovin, assistant and former director of the Vyacheslav Zaitsev Fashion House, said in an interview with socialbites.ca that the deceased designer said that his son Yegor will inherit it. He also called the “ridiculous” version, where members of the Garafutdinov family, who allegedly kept an eye on the designer, could claim Zaitsev’s fortune.
“This is ridiculous. Egor is the heir, now he will inherit everything in six months. He lives if there are 10,000 meters of concrete and walls in the center of Moscow. Are you very worried about this? I don’t care. I’m worried about the preservation of Zaitsev’s creative legacy. That worries me, “It’s not the concrete in the center of Moscow,” he said.
On April 30, Soviet and Russian fashion designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev died at the age of 86, the cause of death was internal bleeding. At the same time, according to his assistant Nikolai Golovin, the funeral of the designer has not yet been taken from the morgue, the Zaitsev family is not yet engaged in funeral rites.
In 2021, Yegor Zaitsev stated that a person named Galina Garafutdinova and her family settled in the house of a fashion designer, took videos with her and posted them on TikTok. According to the designer’s son, the Garafutdinovs pretended to be courting Vyacheslav Zaitsev, hoping to inherit both his wealth and his fashion house. As Komsomolskaya Pravda wrote, the Investigative Committee conducted an inspection against the Garafutdinovs.
