Milan is widely known as one of the fashion capitals of the world. It is Italy’s second largest city that is the center for architecture, banking, and high fashion. Famous attractions include the Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), the Golden Quadrangle, and the La Scala Opera House. Many people that visit Milan go for the extravagant, high fashion shopping around the Golden Quadrangle. The Golden Quadrangle houses some of the most popular high-end designers including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada. Around the Quadrangle, other popular designers line the streets flashing their brands to draw in the fashionistas. Milan is a haute couture powerhouse that exposes all of the top designers. The study abroad class got a tour of the streets around the center of Milan where we were in shopping heaven!! Most of the designers are extremely expensive, but there are also many stores that are affordable. Can we just have it all, please? We didn’t want to leave this beautiful city where the fashion screams and the buildings gleam. The pictures below include the Milan Cathedral, the Golden Quadrangle, a collage of brands seen on the streets, and my Study Abroad class farewell dinner.
