Throughout this time, the House of VLAD BYKOV has been creating bespoke looks for him—looks in which athletic strength meets freedom, contemporary style and individuality.

Arman is one of those people who forge their own path. He does not wait for recognition or for the right moment—he moves forward, wins, and through his actions makes the world watch for his next step.

These are precisely the people we find especially inspiring to work with.

The first complete look created for Arman Tsarukyan by the House of VLAD BYKOV was designed for UFC Qatar.

On 22 November 2025, Arman headlined the first UFC event ever held in Qatar. In the main event, he faced New Zealand fighter Dan Hooker and claimed a decisive victory, finishing the bout with a second-round submission.

For the occasion, we created an entirely black signature suit in washed silk.

The fabric and design are an original development by the House of VLAD BYKOV: a relaxed silhouette, a distinctive fit and the expressive texture of natural silk. The fabric moves beautifully, creates a sense of freedom and avoids excessive formality while retaining the character of a complete men’s suit.

The deep black emphasised Arman’s strength, while the relaxed shape conveyed the inner confidence of a man who does not need to prove anything through his appearance.

This was not a conventional business suit, but a contemporary interpretation of menswear—relaxed, strong and self-assured.

We completed the washed-silk suit with black VLAD BYKOV mules crafted from Italian-finished crocodile nubuck.

The pair featured decorative piping and Arman’s name, which became an integral part of the design.

Personalisation has long been part of the House of VLAD BYKOV. We create pieces bearing their owners’ names and initials, turning every item into something deeply personal and connected to a particular individual.

We have developed our own approach to this idea: a name is not simply added to a finished piece, but conceived from the outset as part of its visual code. When creating a garment or accessory, we consider the owner’s character, personal style, way of life and the impression the complete look is meant to convey.

The combination of the relaxed washed-silk suit and personalised crocodile-nubuck mules became a signature VLAD BYKOV look for Arman Tsarukyan.

After Arman appeared in this look, we began to notice similar mule designs and comparable styling combinations appearing more frequently in menswear.

For us, this is one of the most honest signs of influence: an idea we created continues to live, gains popularity and inspires new interpretations.

Another of Arman’s looks was built around one of VLAD BYKOV’s signature pieces—a knitted polo made from 100% silk yarn.

For him, we created a bespoke version in the deep Imperial Violet shade—a rich purple whose expressive character is heightened by the natural lustre of silk.

The shade is vivid yet restrained. Light accentuates the texture of the silk yarn and gives the colour greater visual depth.

The silk polo has become one of VLAD BYKOV’s bestsellers and a favourite among guests of our House. It gently defines the figure, remains comfortable and makes an impression without large logos or excessive detailing.

In one photograph, Arman is pictured wearing the Imperial Violet polo alongside Khamzat Chimaev, who at the time was the reigning UFC middleweight champion.

The image brings together two athletes with different personalities but a similar inner energy. Both built their own names, followed their own paths and earned recognition through results.

For Arman Tsarukyan’s appearance at the Real American Freestyle press conference, we also created a black version of the VLAD BYKOV polo in 100% silk yarn.

This look captures the philosophy of the design with particular clarity. The polo does not draw attention away from the person wearing it; it brings his character into sharper focus.

The deep black, clean form and natural lustre of silk create a balance between athletic confidence and contemporary elegance.

This piece is not tied to a single occasion. The polo can be worn to a press conference, a business meeting, on a flight, to dinner or at a private event. It becomes a natural part of a personal wardrobe and works across different settings.

At the House of VLAD BYKOV, every piece begins with the person.

We want to understand not only their measurements or colour preferences, but also their character, way of life, rhythm and personal story.

We do not simply create a suit, a pair of mules or a polo. We create an extension of the person who will wear it.

Arman Tsarukyan is an athlete who forges his own path. His story is built on discipline, strength of character and the ability to keep moving forward regardless of circumstances.

That is why the looks created for him should never feel theatrical or overloaded. They should express his strength naturally.

We create for those who forge their own path—for people who do not wait for recognition, but compel the world to recognise them through their actions. Arman is exactly that kind of person.

We have been friends with Arman for more than a year, and we value the opportunity to be by his side during important moments in both his sporting and personal journey.

For us, it is especially meaningful to create not only for those who have already reached the top, but also for people who are still climbing towards it. Watching their growth, victories and new chapters unfold is an important part of the VLAD BYKOV philosophy.

We sincerely wish Arman many more victories and believe that within the next one or two years he can win the UFC championship belt.

It would mean a great deal to us to one day see a man for whom we have created looks at different stages of his career raise the sport’s greatest prize above his head.

Arman Tsarukyan continues to write his story in sport.

The House of VLAD BYKOV continues to shape his style beyond the Octagon.
