MILAN, BEST SHOPPING YOU’VE EVER HAD
Welcome to the mecca of consumerism
by Nina Ondine



Amongst the world’s jet-set, Milan takes the cake for its unabashed label consciousness, in your eye brand-flaunting, name dropping, fake tanning, real fur-parading, handbag-clutching, espresso-sipping, shop-till-you-drop frenzy. Shopping in Milan is an art form and a religion. Appearance is everything to the Milanese and they do judge books by their cover. Welcome to Milan, where less is less and more is expensive.
