In partnership with CIFF, Forestalgia and VINNY's welcomed author and cultural commentator Raven Smith to the second edition of the VINNY's Readers Club at Restaurant Bobe in Copenhagen.

Led by Forestalgia founder Emmanuel Lawal, the discussion centred on storytelling, self-expression and the role of literature in shaping creative identity. Drawing on his own experiences as an author, Smith shared insights into finding one's voice, navigating the writing process and the subtle connections between style on the page and style in everyday life.

Reflecting on the interplay between aspiration and identity, Smith remarked: "I always shop for a future me that is going somewhere nicer."

To commemorate the occasion, attendees received a limited- edition Forestalgia x VINNY's cap, created exclusively for the Readers Club collaboration.
