Heartland Festival 2019
Heartland Festival lasts three days and offers many treats in four main categories; MUSIC, ART, TALK and FOOD. DANSK Magazine has joined the festival to review selected artistic events.
DANSK Loves VALENTI
If you scroll down your Instagram feed, you are more than likely to come across millions of start-up brands that, unequivocally, are contending for a place within the industry. But no matter the saturation present in the creative system, through perseverance and ceaseless challenges, triumphs do occur: VALENTI is solid proof. The Italian fashion designer’s collections take inspiration from both present and past, delving into the spheres of art, music, and cinema, with notes of classicism fused with an 80’s sleek-grunge vibe. All of these influences are subverted by contemporary fabrics and ravishing silhouettes. The designer, driven by the idea of sublime craftsmanship, has at the age of 26 already graced the pages of global publications including Vogue Italia, L’Officiel UA, Schon Magazine and more. We catch up with one of the most trailblazing designers of the Italian landscape.

#WhoMadeMyClothes and the Industry Change to Come
The question of why we gravitate towards one garment over another largely boils down to identity. The ways in which we choose to project ourselves to the rest of the world stands vital in our day to day lives, however, when we take a step back to understand where our clothes came from, are we really projecting the same image? The #WhoMadeMyClothes? campaign was sparked by Carry Somers, co-founder of Fashion Revolution, in response to what can only be described as the most fatal garment factory collapse to date. The 1,138 employees who lost their lives at the Rana Plaza factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2013 marked not only a tragedy but a wake-up call for the necessary change for companies to disclose and publish crucial information about their themselves. This incident had to stand for something.
