Life in the USSR, Controversial Suits, Finding Chaos | Dimitry Toukhcher
We're talking with Dimitry Toukhcher from his office in Estonia. In this conversation we are treated to a battle-ridden, caterpillar to butterfly story. Dimitry brings us through his ideas formed through his experience living under a Communist regime to a zealous video gaming obsession to selling books door-to-door to building a truly international bespoke fashion house. We discuss growing up in a system where lying is the tool of ruling , the predictability of seduction, being more interesting, the right dose of desperation, creativity of the entrepreneurial mind and the power of being at chaos’ edge.
Dimitry is well known for tailoring suits for Jordan Peterson, as well as people like Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde and Alice Cooper.
Warning: hard lessons to be learned here.
