Why T-shirts?
Because they really are the symbol of our age, the icons and protagonists of a conscious revolution and probably the most powerful means of communication of our time; in any case provocative and it was in 1950 that Marlon Brando first showed one off – in A Streetcar Named Desire – as a proper item of clothing in itself.

Beating Hearts was founded by  Alessia Bighi, Lorenzo Angelini e Moira Taddia on 10 December 2007, on precisely the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and was created by a well-known Design Studio of products made in Italy. The young dynamic team, with solid professional experience, pays constant attention to trends, lifestyles and changes that lead to interior growth, but above all to the aspirations which are the driving force of progress and the future, not only of each one of us, but often of the whole society.

We believe in our dreams and we are convinced that if all of us do something, little as it may be, we can change the world, because the world is made up, above all, of the people we meet every day. Our dream is to spread the knowledge of Human Rights, to raise awareness among ourselves and others (and from this to bring about change), through the means of expression closest to us: design, to wear and to display!
So we have created a collection of 30 designs, one for each of the main Human Rights, each design being a single expression of the intrinsic meaning and making of its wearer a deliberate spokesperson.
The collection is completed with a limited edition tee-shirt which celebrates the 60th UDHR Anniversary (1948 – 2008) and a special design dedicated expressly to the 10 main Rights of Children, who are the first in need of protection and safeguard, yet all too often are forgotten or, even worse, victims of abuse.

The edgy style of our T-shirts, particularly detailed beyond the simple screen printing, is directed at the young – but not only in age! – as it is in their hands, their minds and values that the future of the world lays.
We all have power to change things; not through titanic utopian efforts, but one step at a time, in our small everyday choices, together.
There is power in a dream, there is power in a message, there is power in the beating of our hearts. Beating Hearts: hence the name of our label and collection. For if it is true that two hearts may beat as one, in the same rhythm of life ten, a hundred, a thousand, millions, billions of people share it; a single beating, a single being: humanity.
