KYIV, Ukraine – Mr Viktor Anisimov, one of Ukraine’s top fashion designers, first worked with the future president of Ukraine about 20 years ago.
That was when Mr Volodymyr Zelensky was part of a comedy troupe whose members all dressed in T-shirts and leather pants. Mr Anisimov coaxed them into trying classic suits.
