Blog written by two Prague residents about life in the Czech Republic.
The world-renowned fashion designer Blanka Matragi who is Czech by origin and lives in Lebanon with her husband is currently exhibiting her latest collection in the Municipal House in Prague. The exhibition was preceded by an evening fashion show on September 22, the proceeds from which were contributed to the reconstruction of Lebanon damaged in the recent Israel/Lebanon conflict.
The exhibition runs from September 24 to October 15 and has been extremely successful.
I was recently in the Dejvická metro station and the colors inside caught my eye. The station has a retro look, but that is because it has not changed since it was built. Dejvická is a part of Prague’s second metro line, which opened on August 12, 1978.
I wrote about the rebranding campaign of Telefónica O2 in a previous post. As a part of their advertising, they even painted a bridge in Prague (Štefánikův most).
The European Mobility Week is taking place in Prague from today through September 22. A “Day Without Cars” (Den bez aut) is scheduled for tomorrow although it really started today at 2 p.m. when the Národní divadlo – Staroměstská – Palachovo náměstí – Mánesův most route was closed to regular traffic. It will remain closed until 4 p.m. on Sunday. Jeff and I were at the Rudolfinum right after 2 p.m. and we were lucky to catch a bunch of trams arriving and lining up on the bridge for today’s tram exhibition.
