A Bica do Sapato marked Lisbon in the 2000s, founded by Manuel Reis and Fernando Fernandes (with John Malkovich among the first shareholders). With Fernando's support, the new team maintains a continuity: it is not a museum, but the soul remains. The Portuguese spirit and creative synergies guide this phase — visible in the uniforms of Constança Entrudo, the curtains of Maria Appleton, and the pieces of Daciano da Costa.
