Designer outfits, casual wear, or second-hand: where they shop and how much they spend on clothing for Parliament? Who among the lawmakers is always “in style”? And whose wardrobe is the most expensive?
The StopCor team peeked into the deputies’ wardrobes.
From 3 to 6 thousand hryvnias — that price can buy you a look in the capital’s shopping centers. Cheaper on the market. But where do deputies shop, which brands do they favor, and how much do they spend on shopping?
Davit Arakhamia claims: he doesn’t know any brand except Nike. The most expensive sneakers he bought for 450 dollars. According to the declaration, the leader of the Servant of the People faction has several expensive watches worth 15 thousand dollars, but he doesn’t wear them to the Verkhovna Rada, saying: it doesn’t suit a member of parliament.
Anton Yatsenko from the For the Future faction says he spends little on clothing and has not shopped in a long time.
Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze recalls: in her youth she bought things even in second-hand stores when she studied in the United States.
Natalia Hrykhodko from OPZZh prefers Ukrainian designers and happily shows a handmade handbag. Irina Vereshchuk of Servant of the People agrees. She even bought a pair of women’s shoes of Ukrainian production — at a modest price, one and a half thousand hryvnias, and a dress cost 3,5-4 thousand.
Her colleague from the same faction, Olga Sovghyria, adds: a mid-season suit of domestic production will cost about 4-5 thousand hryvnias. Nelly Yakovleva states: the most expensive thing in her wardrobe is a fur coat worth 2 thousand dollars.
The most expensive items in Sofia Fedina’s wardrobe from European Solidarity are her embroidered shirts. For one of them she paid 8 thousand hryvnias and then more than a year paid off the loan.
Maksym Zuyev also claims that he buys clothes in Ukraine. For a suit jacket he paid about 4 thousand hryvnias.
Sergiy Oleksieiev confesses: his favorite brands are Italian. Oleh Voloshin from OPZZh bought several suits in the United States, the price of one jacket being about 300 dollars. Another suit — for 800 dollars — was a gift from his wife. He says: deputies should not walk around in rags or rolled-up jeans. They’re not hipsters.
About 5-7 thousand hryvnias for a shirt is what opposition member Illya Kiva pays. Shoes cost about 10 thousand. He buys all items in Kyiv’s shopping centers and avoids markets. He agrees with colleague Voloshyn: a deputy must dress properly, and in the Rada only idiots wear T-shirts and jeans.
