Media

We started with a simple premise. Style starts with a curated footwear collection.
Ankari Floruss was started by Moti Ankari and Marcel Floruss, two of today’s most influential menswear bloggers. We believe stylish footwear essentials are foundational to building a wardrobe that gives you the ability to flex and express your personal style. Our Seven Days collection was created to provide staples that make you feel confident every day of the week, every day of the year.

Marcel Floruss
Co-founder
Born and raised in Germany, Marcel decided to move to New York to pursue a career in the fashion industry. Half-way through his bachelor’s degree at FIT, he launched his Blog ‘One Dapper Street’ in 2013 which quickly turned him into one of the most well-known men’s fashion influencers in the US. Since then, he’s amassed more than 900k style-advice-seeking followers on Instagram and YouTube. Having worked with brands ranging from H&M and Walmart to Louis Vuitton and Piaget, his knowledge granted him the honor of being on Forbes’ European 30 under 30 list, as well as being featured in GQ, The New York Times and The Huffington Post, who saw his potential early, and in 2014 called him “One Of The Best Dressed Men on Instagram.”
