Famous fashion designer Rufat Ismayil has launched international charity project to support the fight against coronavirus in Azerbaijan.

"I love Azerbaijan. For me it is the most beautiful and beloved place in the world. I grew up and became what I am because of the greatness of this country and nobility of its people. Hard days have come and I cannot be away of this. All of us, personally, one by one should help our country to move through this tragedy. This is my duty. My duty as a man, as an artist, as an Azerbaijani. To that end, I am releasing limited edition T-shirts with unique prints, signed, titled and numbered. Also, we do create an individual art piece based on your photo and print it onto an exclusive T-shirt executed in a single copy..." designer said.

In addition, everyone who supported this initiative will receive discount coupons from 10 to 30 percent.

The project is organized with the support of the Azerbaijan Ministry of Culture and Creative Azerbaijan portal. All the proceeds will go to Fund to Support Fight Against Coronavirus.
