The only son turned away from the 84-year-old Zaitsev: the gap ruins the health of the couturier

A family friend revealed the truth about the condition of the fashion designer and his communication with relatives

Vyacheslav Zaitsev was again in the spotlight. He appeared at one of the fashion shows, after which talks intensified that the 84-year-old fashion designer, they say, does not look good. A friend of Zaitsev and his partner Vadim Khusainov told MK the truth about the health of the legendary fashion designer.

“I am in constant contact with Vyacheslav Mikhailovich: we just called each other yesterday, talked,” Vadim shares. “He is in excellent spirits. He said that he attended the event: he really liked it there. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich speaks quite tolerably. Rehabilitation, which he underwent in one of the best metropolitan clinics, helped. His health is being monitored. Recently, for example, new teeth were installed for him – the necessary procedures were carried out.

– It can be seen that it is difficult for Vyacheslav Mikhailovich to move independently. Maybe you shouldn’t bring him to events?

– Vyacheslav Mikhailovich himself decides where to go. He needs going out into the world like air. He is used to always being the center of attention. And, of course, to isolate him now, in my opinion, would be wrong. This is his life.

– Zaitsev admitted at this event that he still cannot establish relations with his son. Do they really not communicate?

– Yes, this is a great tragedy for Vyacheslav Mikhailovich. Normal people have no idea what this can be in principle. Dad gave him everything. Now he asks only one thing: “Son, please, talk to me!”. And in response he hears a refusal. I don’t know how to normalize their relationship. Egor does not make contact. Zaitsev is looked after by strangers. Not from a good life, Vyacheslav Mikhailovich called me a couple of years ago and said: “Vadim, help me.” At that moment, our cooperation with Zaitsev stopped for a while. But, of course, having heard the request of Vyacheslav Mikhailovich, I did not refuse him and began to help.

– And how is his communication with his granddaughter Marusya?

– They talk sometimes. We recently held a show in the country house of Vyacheslav Mikhailovich. I called Marusya the day before: she promised to come, help grandfather, prepare the models for the exit. But in the end it didn’t come. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich, of course, was very upset.

– That day it turned out that the roof was leaking in Zaitsev’s house, and there was no money for repairs. Has this issue been sorted out?

– Yes, we collected money and handed it over to Vyacheslav Mikhailovich. They did the necessary work in the house and eliminated the leak. Now everything is good in this regard.
