We do not need to remind you that this week is all about fashion, darling! But the schedule is dense and impossible to coordinate with the less fabulous daily life, so we are bringing you a narrowed choice based mostly on the criteria: 1.fun and 2.free. Naturally, we had our third eye open for spotting the events with free drinks and other goodies, but more importantly for the ones where Fashion meets her weird sister Art.
