Andrey Rublev announced the launch of his new clothing brand "Rublo" on Monday. The brand is named after his surname and was created to help promote the message of equality and kindness.

Rublev is hopeful that his new clothing line can grow bigger than just being a brand by helping both the planet and its inhabitants.
"We been working on something important and close to me. And we would like to share with you something that can be bigger then just a brand, something that can help people, planet," he added.
The 25-year-old reckons Rublo could be a "symbol of hope" for those who need a ray of light amidst all the darkness.
"Something that will be a symbol of hope and kindness. It’s gonna be an interesting year and hopefully all together we will be able to add a bit of light in this dark world," he continued.
