President William Ruto’s choice of attire at his daughter’s wedding has attracted widespread public attention, turning his stylish blazer into a talking point in Kenya’s luxury fashion market.

The blazer, attributed to Italian luxury fashion house Stefano Ricci, has generated interest among fashion enthusiasts following its appearance at the high-profile family event.

Zannetti Gents Fashion has since invited exclusive direct orders for the design, with prices starting at USD 7,000, depending on size and availability.

The reported starting price places the blazer firmly in the high-end luxury fashion segment, highlighting the premium market for designer menswear.

The attention surrounding the outfit also underscores how high-profile public appearances can influence consumer interest in luxury brands, particularly when prominent personalities wear exclusive designer pieces.

While the blazer’s appearance has generated considerable online discussion, its reported price and association with Stefano Ricci have added another dimension to the public fascination with the President’s wedding attire.
