Vyacheslav Mikhailovich "Slava" Zaitsev (russian: Вячеслав Михайлович Зайцев; born 2 March 1938) is a Russian fashion designer, painter, graphic artist and theatrical costume designer.
Early life
Zaitsev was born on 2 March 1938 in Ivanovo to Mikhail Yakovlevich Zaitsev and Maria Ivanovna Zaitseva.
His father was a victim of the
repressions of
Joseph Stalin
Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili; – 5 March 1953) was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet political leader who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held power as General Secreta ...
and was incarcerated in one of Stalin's camps, and his mother was a cleaner and laundress.
From 19451952 he studied Secondary School № 22 in Ivanovo.
As his father was deemed by the State to be an
Enemy of the people, Zaitsev was denied the opportunity to study at an industrial academy, a theatrical school and a pilot training school.
In 1952 he began studies in the Faculty of Applied Arts at the University of Chemistry and Technology in Ivanovo, and during this time he became interested in manufacturing and received the credentials to become a textile artist.
He graduated, with honours, from the university in 1956.
After realising that working with textiles was his dream, he moved to
Moscow
Moscow ( , US chiefly ; rus, links=no, Москва, r=Moskva, p=mɐskˈva, a=Москва.ogg) is the capital and largest city of Russia. The city stands on the Moskva River in Central Russia, with a population estimated at 13.0 million ...
in 1956, and commenced studies at the Moscow Textile Institute, from which he graduated in 1962 with a
Bachelor's degree
A bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin ''baccalaureus'') or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin ''baccalaureatus'') is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six ...
in painting and designing. Whilst he was studying at the Institute, he married Marina Vladimirovna Zaitseva in 1959, and fathered a son, Yegor Vyacheslavovich Zaitsev, in 1960.

. Alexandre Vassiliev, a Russian-born, Paris-based fashion historian and designer, stated that "(i)f he had had a chance to show his collections abroad he would have been most possibly a world-famed brand."
In March 1962, he began work as the artistic director of «Experimental technical garment factory «Mosoblsovnarkhoza», where he oversaw production of women's clothing for retail stores in Moscow and the surrounding region. Zaitsev came to attention in 1963 when he designed a
chic version of the
telogreika,
Pavlovsky Posad shawl-inspired skirts and multi-coloured
valenki for
kolkhoz workers. Whilst his creations were lauded by the authorities for "sparkling with all colours of the rainbow", his collection was not approved for production by the Methodical Council. In February 1963, ''
Paris Match'' became the first foreign media outlet to profile Zaitsev, and highly rated his collection.
In March 1965 Zaitsev became the Chief Designer at the All-Union Fashion House, which was also known as ''Dom Modeli'', on
Kuznetsky Most.
In April 1965 Pierre Cardin,
Marc Bohan (then with Dior) and
Guy Laroche visited Moscow and became familiar with Zaitsev's works, although Zaitsev wasn't present, and was covered in an article of ''Paris Match''. Pierre Cardin called Zaitsev an "equal among equals", and the
French press dubbed him the ''Red Dior''
Between 19651968 Zaitsev's works, dubbed the ''Russian series'', were displayed abroad.
He resigned from the All-Union Fashion House in 1978, and began to work out of a small studio.
His mother, with whom he had a great affinity died in the same year, and after her death he took up the writing of

In 1984 it was reported that Dom Modi had served 10,000 customers, and prices ranged from US$170 to US$260 for
prêt-à-porter dresses, and up to US$1,000 for haute couture gowns. Zaitsev met with
Thierry Mugler in 1985 in Moscow, and the French couturier photographed Zaitsev's fashions for an article in ''Paris Match''.

A member of the

of a workers' paradise. ''The New York Times'' reported that by the 1980s, he became disillusioned with the Party. Zaitsev told the newspaper that at mandatory party meetings he "began to defend the right to be free, as it says in the Communist charter. They constantly tried to distract me, not to let me get in. I'd be stuck in the elevator or I'd be sent off to some other event." This disillusionment led to Zaitsev quitting the party in the late 1980s.
Zaitsev often complained to the Soviet authorities about the lack of essential materials for his craft, which ''The New York Times'' noted in 1988 that he "until recently" was forced to use dressmaker's

Career in Russia
Whilst during the Soviet era Zaitsev's work was funded by the Soviet government, which as a state employee he earned the maximum of 1,000 roubles per month, after the
collapse of the Soviet Union he became responsible for financing the business out of his private income, with
New Russians making up the bulk of his clientele.
In 1991 he designed a new uniform for the
Russian police, and was bestowed the title of ''Honored Worker in the Field of the Arts''.

an countries in 1992 and was launched worldwide in 1993.

1992 was also a significant year in Zaitsev's career, because it was then that he presented for the first time his recent fashion collection, as well as his paintings and works on paper in prestigious venues, both in New York and in Beverly Hills. Never before was Russian fashion design demonstrated on the American runways, and never before were Zaitsev's most personal paintings and drawings allowed to be exhibited in the West. Fashion shows and exhibitions were held at the
Bowles-Sorokko Galleries on both the East and the West Coasts, and they were widely attended, marking the beginning of cultural exchanges in the area of visual arts between the USA and the new Russia. According to Serge Sorokko, then president of the Bowles-Sorokko Galleries, Mr. Zaitsev was a lifelong painter, but was never free to exhibit publicly his art before. "
hat wasbecause his work was outside the dogmas of socialist realism," Mr. Sorokko told The New York Times. "He was permitted to paint only for his own soul. When I visited his home in Moscow, I saw 20 years of pictorial work on his walls."
In 1994, Zaitsev hosted the inaugural ''
Nadezhda Lamanova Prize'' competition for professional Russian designers at Dom Modi, and the competition has been held under his patronage since. In 1996 he launched a competition in Russia, using the slogan of "Goodbye
Barbie, welcome Maroussia", to find the "purest essence of" female adolescence, with the aim of decreasing the influence of the American doll in Russia. In Zaitsev's words, "Barbie is rigid, cold, cynical, pragmatic. Now look at the faces of our children... they are not only beautiful, but sweet, charming and mysterious. In every face there's a secret, and so must the new Russian doll". Also in 1996, a follow-up to 1992s ''Maroussia'', a floriental fragrance named ''Authentic Maroussia'' was launched but has since been discontinued.

State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of literature and the arts. In 1996, Zaitsev was also made an honorary citizen of the city of his birth, Ivanovo.
His 2001 collection entitled ''Dedication'' saw the most expensive dresses costing between $10,00012,000, whilst the cheapest were in the $2,0003,000 price range.
