Valentin Yudashkin passed away after a long illness. The fashion artist didn’t give up and has been battling cancer since 2016. Due to illness, Valentin Abramovich has been gradually transferring control of the Fashion House to his only daughter Galina Yudashkina for several years. So, we understand the inheritance and heirs of Valentin Yudashkin.
The couturier has a close-knit family, so there will be no conflicts over the inheritance. The 78-year-old mother of fashion designer Raisa Petrovna has long been living in Israel, where her caring son bought her a house. His wife, Marina Yudashkina, had been married to him for 35 years – together, friends called them the perfect couple. Their only child, daughter Galina, and her husband Peter Maksakov are raising three children.

For the last 11 years, Galina Yudashkina has officially been the creative director of the Valentin Yudashkin Fashion House. But in fact, Yudashkin’s daughter, in those periods when the fashion designer was undergoing treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, independently managed the brand, the Fashion House. In fact, Galina Yudashkina, after her father’s illness, managed production, business, controlled the creative process, and the purchase of fabrics. Two months ago, 32-year-old Galina Yudashkina said: “Now I am fully engaged in the brand. Now dad has given such carte blanche – “do what you want” … But I can’t make any very serious decisions without him, I have to consult … ”Now Galina will have to decide everything herself and, probably, work partly remotely it won’t work – Yudashkina lived in Dubai, where her husband has a business.

What legacy did Valentin Yudashkin leave to his heirs
House in the suburbs
The fashion designer and his wife lived outside the city in the village of Bakovka near Moscow on the Minsk highway. In the late 90s, Yudashkin bought 40 acres here, then built a huge two-story house. A little later, he rented one and a half hectares of forest park land adjacent to his site and put up a fence. The country residence of the couturier is built in the classical style: columns, antique statues, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces with golden candelabra, marble, a collection of antiques and paintings. And in the courtyard there is a park, a pond and Marina’s greenhouses. Most likely, the widow will stay here.
The country house is estimated at more than 220 million rubles.

Apartment in Moscow
The metropolitan apartment of Valentin Yudashkin is located in Bryusov Lane, its area is 150 square meters. The property is valued at more than 60 million rubles. It is known that the couturier gave this apartment to his daughter during his lifetime.
Apartment in the USA
In March 2022, Valentin Yudashkin put up for sale a 230 sq m penthouse in the elite Upper East Side area in the center of New York. Luxurious apartment with excellent renovation and expensive furniture: there are 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining room. The windows offer views of Central Park. Yudashkin bought American housing in 2008 for $6 million. There was already an attempt to get rid of the penthouse in 2021: housing was sold for $8 million – it was not sold. Whether it was possible to get rid of American real estate over the past year or whether the heirs of Valentin Yudashkin have yet to do it is unknown.
Business
The fashion house Valentin Yudashkin has three stores in the capital. One of them and the Fashion House itself are located in an old mansion (with an area of 800 sq. m.) in the historical center of the capital – in Voznesensky Lane. Back in the 2000s, the fashion designer restored the mansion, investing more than 100 million rubles. – for which he received preferential rent. Recently, the couturier’s daughter Galina Yudashkina said: “All our offices, fashion house, shops are owned.” Most likely, the fashion designer was able to fulfill an old dream and bought an old mansion.

The profitability of the business is unknown. Galina Yudashkina (she manages the Fashion House) 2 months ago said that it was impossible to calculate monthly revenue: “an excellent month, a little worse month.” The reason is that clothes are expensive, so sales cannot be predicted like mass-market. The trend of the last year: many wealthy clients of the Fashion House began to sew to order. Galina Yudashkina promises to follow the brand’s target audience: “We will not make clothes for 20-year-olds.” Yudashkina has long been in the fashion business, received a specialized education – so the Fashion House will be in her already experienced hands. Only there will be no more collections that the maestro himself came up with: there are designers and fashion designers – his students …
