During our latest “Coffee with” episode, Serbian City Club had the pleasure of hosting Jovana Gospavić, Emmy-nominated costume designer, as part of the17th annual Serbian Month in the UK.
During the discussion we reflected on Jovana’s incredible journey which led her from starting studies in Serbia, to being twice nominated for Emmy for her work as a costume designer. We reflected on her work both in theatre and film, and discussed how she got to became the designer of British Fencing Association uniforms, and whether she ever gets starstruck.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
