Together, they find perfect balance in their live and in a mutual business by the name of Homs Arthaus: a brand for male jumpsuits, in which Sophia Dias is a designer and an illustrator, and Frederik Vincent – the mind for business (and a model of the brand, at least for our photo today).

And in fact, it fulfills the main task of contemporary art - to burn up controversy and wake us up to think.

"And they lived happily, drinking cocktails for seven days" - this could be your summary of the week between May 14 and May 20, if you follow World Class Cocktail Week around the city.
