YOUR GUIDE
TO MILAN
With stops in New York and London behind us, all roads lead to Milan. After years of visiting Italy's fashion capital for the unveiling of new collections, we’re sharing Wholesale Replica Handbag ’s must-visit spots in Milan.
Here’s where to go between shows to experience the real magic of Milan Fashion Week—explore our list of the best cafés, art, aperitivo, and more.
YOUR FASHION WEEK WARDROBE
Dining
WINE AND DINE AL ITALIANO
When it comes to spotting the best street style, go to Il Salumaio di Montenapoleone and Da Giacomo to see and be seen. Enjoy Michelin-grade Italian-Japanese fusion at Aalto, and when you’re craving cacio e pepe, find the city’s best at Felice-a-Testaccio. After a busy day attending shows, La Bullona is our favorite: good music, unforgettable cocktails, and an Art Nouveau-style ambiance.
Nightlife
SALUTE! APERITIVO TIME
If you love Negroni like us, Bar Basso is a must—this popular spot is famous for inventing the recipe. Sake connoisseurs, head to Sakeya, the city’s first sake house serving spirits straight from Japan. For a more low-profile evening, enjoy Milan’s best jazz and gourmet cocktails at The Doping Bar. And when the mood calls for karaoke, finish the night at Madame Cheng’s.
Café
BUT FIRST, ESPRESSO
Need a quick coffee and snack in between shows? Visit Marchesi 1824, one of the oldest pastry shops in Milan. Try their signature chocolates and Panettone, and thank us later. If you want to escape the crowds and sip espresso like a true local, Biancolatte is our go-to. And cappuccino lovers, find the best cup in the city at Bastianello.
Culture
EMBRACE THE ARTS
One place you can’t miss in Milan? Fondazione Prada, the ultimate spot for sightseeing contemporary art exhibitions in a stunning architectural space designed by Rem Koolhaas- don't miss their Cafe, Bar Luce, designed by filmaker Wes Anderson. When you have a few hours to spare, spend the afternoon at Il Mudec, the Museum of Cultures in Milan.
Destination
ESCAPE AND UNWIND
After a non-stop week, our favorite place to relax post-MFW is Villa D’este. Only a short trip away from the city, this indulgent five-star resort overlooks Lake Como and sits on over twenty five acres of Baroque gardens. In our opinion, there’s no better place to reset before heading to fashion week’s next stop: Paris.
