Valentin Yudashkin is gone. He was preparing to celebrate his 60th birthday, he planned to present an anniversary collection, but fate there were other plans.
For the past seven years, Valentin Yudashkin has been battling cancer of his right kidney. An insidious disease has turned the once energetic fashion designer into a feeble old man. However, the couturier did not give up, did not give up, but tried to enjoy every day he lived.
The last time he walked the catwalk was on June 26, 2022, when he closed Moscow Fashion Week with his show on the Soaring Bridge in Zaryadye. Philip Kirkorov, Yana Rudkovskaya, Taisia Povaliy and Valeria came to support the maestro and evaluate his Haute couture collection. Although many guests of the show were not interested in so many luxurious dresses trimmed with stones, sequins and gold embroidery, how much the appearance of a famous fashion designer. He was already very bad.
Next to him was a whole team of assistants – they blotted his mouth with a napkin, served water. Yes, and the beautiful wife Marina, with whom the couturier was more than 30 years old, devoted herself entirely to the sick Valentine. She touchingly led him by the hand and did everything so that every day Yudashkin lived was filled with joy and meaning ..
Recall that the terrible diagnosis of cancer Yudashkin learned in 2016. The fashion designer admitted that he was crushed by the news, shocked and depressed – he even wanted to refuse treatment. Fortunately, the relatives insisted on all the necessary procedures. But all the same, metastases appeared in the head … On the morning of May 2, 2023, he was gone.
