Nargis (pronounced [NH-AR-GHIS], Azerbaijani “nərgiz” – “narcissus”) is a magazine about fashion, lifestyle, beauty, art, cinema and music, published since 2012[1] in Azerbaijan.

History

The magazine was named in honor of the rector of the Lomonosov Moscow State University Baku Branch, the professor Nargiz Pashayeva, who was on the cover of the first issue. The First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva attended the presentation of the first issue, that was held on January 13, 2013. The magazine has printed issue in Russian language and web-version in three languages: Azerbaijani, Russian and English.

Nargis magazine has celebrated its fifth anniversary[2] in Paris within Haute Couture Fashion Week in January 2018. Also, Nargis invited one of the legendary Parisian photo studios – Studio Harcourt. As noted by the sales director of Studio Harcourt Pauline Rust Johnkman, for the first time studio agreed for Nargis to place its logo on the photos along with the name of the magazine. This is the first precedent, because the policy of Studio Harcourt assumes the presence on the pictures only of the studio logo.[3]

A doll created by Tilmann Grawe specially for Nargis, was exhibited at Theatre du Chatelet on November 18, 2014.[4]

Philanthropic Activity

One of the Nargis publishing house projects is a charity Nargis fund, which was founded in 2012 and started its activity in 2013. “Cold hands-warm heart” charity Christmas fair is being conducted by Nargis Fund since 2013.[5]

As part of its philanthropic activity, the magazine is also promoting saving the environment. They opened two exhibitions in Baku to raise awareness of environmental issues, one in 2019 called "Make the Earth Smile"[6] and another in 2021 named "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Respect".[7]

International editions

Nargis Magazine was presented in Tbilisi[8] on February 28, 2014. Later that year, Nargis Magazine Georgia was launched on December 22.
