The lion roars

The Czech Film and Television Academy (ČFTA) held its traditional
award ceremony for the best Czech films, actors and actresses.
In attendance were anyone who means anything in the world of showbusiness
- including, of course, those who invest money into it.

On the waves of fashion
- 17.3.2004
Prague is not really a center of haute couture, but one can still
find local fashion brands that stand out. Taiza is one, and during
the introduction of its new collection by designer Kateřina Baloun
(replacing Osmany Laffita), the president's wife appeared, and
received a donation for her foundation.

The British Chamber of Commerce hosted another business mixer, this time at
the "top level". The first executive mixer took place in Mlýnec restaurant,
and the chamber hopes that such events - which it plans to organize several
times a year - will bring together Prague's business elite.
