The World of George Zaharoff
My Dreams. My Passions. My Life. A Gentleman's Journey.
About Me...George Zaharoff
Life is inspiration.
Be it a flower growing on a sidewalk or climbing the Great Wall of China. Inspiration is everywhere. Since I was a child, I dreamt of one day being a clothing designer. When I was 5 years old, I would be asked, "George what do you want to be when you grow up?" I would respond, "a fashion designer." Little boys don't grow up to be fashion designers, they grow up to be doctors and
lawyers or policemen.
Nonetheless, during my Junior and Senior years at DePaul University (where I received a BS in Operations Management, Manufacturing and Purchasing), I started flying to Milan and Paris to see what I could do to "jump start" my dream. After finishing DePaul, I moved with a small staff to Milan, I was only 21 years old. And that was the beginning
of the beginning.
I've lived in London, Paris, Milan, and Athens. At one time I commuted to all those cities like those taking the bus to work. It was when business started to grow in the States
that I moved back.
Every year I travel between 200,000 to 250,000 miles a year (a plane ride around the globe is 20,000 miles, so figure ten to twelve round the world trips a year!). I love traveling and exploring. I've traveled extensively all over the world - over 100 cities covering about fifty countries.
This is my passion, it's where I seek inspiration, where I get to clear my mind. I love meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I read about the history and peoples before getting on a plane and visiting the area. I love history, and the principles of cause and effect.
This is the mark found on almost everything I create:
Why does one play the violin?
Because they love it.
Why do I do what I do?
Because I love it - and it comes from the inner depths of my heart. Zaharoff isn't a just a label, it's a lifestyle, for the man, woman, and child who go through life being just a little different.
With lots of love,
George
