10 Corso ComoA corner of old Milan. In spacious premises off the courtyard there is an eclectic and tasteful selection of unusual items, available in very limited numbers such as clothes, bags, fabrics, cushions, accessories, books, artifacts. An art gallery on the first floor, Galleria Carla Sozzani, houses some interesting exhibitions. As in every self-respecting museum, you will also find a cafè with outdoor tables and also a restaurant. Not to be missed, in case for the annexed B&B, too.
.:. 10 Corso Como branches are found in Seoul, Shangai and Beijing.
Garibaldi FS
10 Corso Como OutletThe outlet of one of the most exclusive fashion shops in town. It is located at a five minutes walk from the relevant headquarters, -Carla Sozzani's famous Corso Como 10, a must-see anyway.
AgnonaLovers of camelhair, alpaca, mohair and cashmere will be spoilt for choice when making purchases here. Lots of shawls, sweaters and gorgeous blankets, as well as ready-to-wear apparel. Another shop at Via Sant'Andrea 11; showroom at Via Stendhal 36.
Al BazarSix-digits phone numbers are now few and far between in Milan: they belong to houses or companies in existence for several decades. This is the case of the Bazar, a rock solid and very classic store of men's clothing. They care for style, disdain fads.
ArmaniSomething like an (elite) small department store, offering the Emporio, Jeans and Junior lines as well as Giorgio's books plus flowers plus hotel plus restaurant plus cafeteria etc.
.:. More Armani shops in town are at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II 3, Via Sant'Andrea 9, Corso Venezia 14 (Home), Corso Vittorio Emanuele corner Galleria Passarella (Exchange), and at la Rinascente in Piazza Duomo.
Atelier BergnachA variety of skirts in a variety of fabrics, colors and models, either prêt-à-porter or made to measure. In her tiny workshop, Elena Bergnach thinks of the skirt as an expression of language, poetry, art and sentiment.
BiffiAn authentic multi-brand "boutique" (600 square metres designed by architect Gae Aulenti) carrying the latest and best in man and womenswear and accessories. Right opposite, their shop for young folk dressing casual.
BrioniYou don't have to go to Rome anymore for a tailor's made suite by the name who pioneered the Italian Style back in the 1950s. Beloved by actors and monarchs, Brioni's shop is a men's outlet.
Brunello CucinelliThe Milanese flagship store of the famous fashion entrepreneur from Perugia. Cashmere was the original love in the late 1970s, but now Cucinelli's billion-Euros empire has gone global both geographically and materially. Don't worry, though, a sober portrait of Socrates still hangs in Cucinelli's personal office.
Cavalli e NastriReckoned to be one of the best places in town for vintage clothes and accessories. Dior, Chanel or Pucci are in stock along with bags, hats and period jewelry. Two other shops in Via Gian Giacomo Mora.
Diesel PlanetSelling jeans in the US: mission impossible. Stefano Rosso, Mr Diesel, made it. Of the thousands Diesel shops around the world, this is the flagship. A kid's corner is at Corso Vercelli 35.
Dolce & GabbanaA crescendo of popularity in the last few years for this couple of youngish designers - Madonna's favourite. The huge boutique was designed by the Brit David Chipperfield. Women's outlet at Via della Spiga 26; then, there's D&G at la Rinascente department store.
Ermenegildo ZegnaEverything in the way of menswear, from dinner jackets to sailing attire, designed and made by one of the world's best and best known producers of yarns.
EtroWood, silk and cashmere provide a magnificent backdrop - amid winged horses (Pegasus is their logo) and paisley designs (their specialty) - for mens- and womenswear, leather goods and fabrics. Home in Via Pontaccio, corner Vicolo Fiori.
GucciThe Milanese flagship store of the distinguished maison from Florence. Women and men clothing as well as shoes, bags, watches and jewels. Kids are also considered. Regularly open on Sundays, too.
GuenzatiThe shop caters for those who love velvet and made-to-measure (but not only) clothing. It has exclusive sale of the Visconti di Modrone velvet, the finest in Europe, of which Guenzati stocks the entire range of thirty colors. And also a wide array of hats, scarves, ties, socks and the "root umbrellas".
Libero MilanoAlmost an outlet, with fashion and classic men's clothing of good quality at interesting prices. This is one of the seven stores in town.
Luisa BeccariaThe clothes hanging all around in a sugary setting might make you feel you have walked into a fabulous wardrobe. Top fashion creations and prêt-à-porter for the romantically-inclined and for kids.
Luisa SpagnoliWomenswear from a widespread domestic chain, named after Mrs Spagnoli - also founder in 1907 of the Perugina chocolate brand - by her heirs and successors. More Spagnoli shops in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele 69, Corso Vittorio Emanuele / Galleria San Carlo, Corso Vercelli 35, and Corso XXII Marzo 5.
Mariza TassyUnder the name of a grandmother who designed gowns in early 19th-century Istanbul, two sisters carry young designers' labels for womenwear. Among them, the housebrand Mariza Tassy plus Isabel Marant, Velvet, Kristensen du Nord, Forte_Forte, Les Prairies des Paris and Mes Demoiselles. Jewelry and accessories to boot.
MissoniSweaters, reversible cardigans, raincoats, as well as tapestries and furnishing fabrics. The beautifully designed shop is alone worth a visit.
MoschinoOut to shock no matter what it takes, their style is loudly broadcast with head-turning combinations for fabrics, colours and general store layout too.
Mulino Docks DoraSecond-hand and new clothes with a 1960s flavour. Famous fashion names from the international design scene, as well as furniture, textiles and accessories.
Nir LagzielKnitted and hand-made dresses, tops and jackets for women only by the young Israeli designer now settled in Milan. One-off items.
PradaThis is the ladies-only store of the successful Milanese she-designer. Other Pradas at Via Monte Napoleone 6 (men), Corso Venezia 3, Via della Spiga 18 and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.
Roberto CavalliThe main Milanese outlet of the Florentine designer and his "animal brand," as fashion experts define it. The Just Cavalli line is at la Rinascente, and a Just Cavalli Café under the Torre Branca.
SermonetaFrom Rome, a name now synonymous with gloves, of every possible kind and color.
Subdued Models are slim worldwide, and obviously young ladies make no exception. If you add comfort and irony to the recipe, you may not be so far from the Subdued formula. Established just a few years in Rome – or at least they say so – the brand sounds nice, colourful, and reasonably sexy.
.:. In Milan, two outlets are available. The most central is not here: rather, just aside Piazza San Babila, a stone's throw from Monte Napoleone.
ValentinoValentino was the first to unite the worlds of art and fashion with his famous show at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 1982. Beautiful high fashion apparel for men and women made with fine materials in classic colors and sophisticated styles.
VersaceFour floors of menswear, womenswear and accessories to choose from. Versace was a master at seeking out new materials and applying experimental techniques to familiar fabrics. He collaborated with the Scala Opera house on costume design for several ballet productions.
