Monday morning. Rush hour traffic. Opening up the office for another day. Savouring the silence before it all begins.

And then comes the first swing.

Meetings, shadow boxing, paperwork, an hour on the treadmill. The terminology that’s interchangeable in Ilia’s world of business. A world with no separation. Not one person in the office and another in the gym. No matter where he is, it’s all business.

Soundtracked by the echoes of printers, keyboards, the rhythms of a punch bag, Ilia builds a world that’s made for how he moves. Made for how he works. He lives in the middle of a gentleman’s approach to business and a fighter’s approach to winning. The two sides of a two-time UFC champion.

This is business through Ilia’s eyes. Something that the campaign for his Montirex capsule was designed to showcase. Not an office space that beckons you in for a long day of sitting at a computer. Instead, a place to put in the hard graft and come out on top.

Coming from a background of displacement, change and a lot of hard work, Ilia has put it all out there for the life he’s built. Now, swapping the ring for a lavish, old-world retro wood panelled office, there’s confidence and a quiet authority that have become integral to who he is.

When it comes to a uniform, Ilia’s not one to follow the rules. The three piece suit and tie hasn’t become his everyday look. Instead, he favours high-performance luxury. Pieces that are an extension of him and only push him further in the work that he does.

This collection had to feel intrinsic to Ilia’s character, while still being a natural evolution of Montirex. Merging that with Topuria’s clean, elevated sense of style resulted in both lifestyle and performance pieces that just make sense.

Building on the Montirex Endurance collection, the training and lifestyle sets give a paired back look that straddles lifestyle and performance, with laser-cut ventilation panels for maximum breathability. It’s finished with details that are pure Topuria, including embroidered Topuria logos, pin tucked detailing and panelling.

The monochromatic colourways of the collection make them timeless pieces, showcasing Ilia’s confident but humble approach to the way he moves through life. For business or performance, step into Ilia’s shoes with the Ilia Topuria x Montirex capsule collection.
