Fashion Finds:

Marni Outlet Store

Marni Outlet Store
Via Filippo Tajani 3
Ring Buzzer To Enter
Tip: Be sure to tell your taxi driver it’s Filippo Tajani, not just Via Tajani.
Also, walk all the way to the back of the driveway to enter the shop and be prepared to spend.

La Milanese
Via Santa Marta 11
02-8645-1991
Tip: Order the Osso Bucco and saffron risotto, both Milanese specialties and enjoy listening to locals who fill the intimate dining room. Don’t be put off if you’re told the wait will be long: Just a few moments after sitting and looking on with enthusiasm at the food passing by, we got a table in five minutes, not the 45 they had predicted.

Nhow Hotel

Nhow Hotel
Via Tortona 35
Tel. +39 02 4898861
Tip: If you’re not planning to walk around the city during your stay, try this high-design hotel. Located just outside the city center (ie a 7 euro, 10 minute cab ride) the new hotel boasts spacious rooms, helpful staff, and a delicious breakfast.

10 Corso Como’s restaurant & bookstore

10 Corso Como
10 Corso Como
Tip: Don’t miss the well-stocked bookstore upstairs from Italian Vogue editrix Carla Sozzani’s storied boutique. After perusing the shop’s tempting Alaia selection or taking in a strong coffee at the cozy garden café, waltz on over to shop’s outlet store (via tazzoli 3) where there’s plenty of Prada, Givenchy, YSL, and McQueen to be had for under 300 euros.

Via Spiga

Hotel Bulgari
Via Privata Fratelli Gabba 7/b
Tel: 39 28 058 051
Tip: Forget about getting a room here during fashion week as the international style set camps out in this 17th-century gem. Try going in spring, and book a room overlooking the gardens. Don’t forget to stroll on over to nearby Via Montenapoleone and Via Spiga where many of Italy’s top designers have an outpost.
