Como

A spontaneous trip to Como last weekend turned out to be the greatest idea ever! I enjoyed every single minute. Pure Dolce Vita!

10 Corso Como goes chic-onomics!

During my year in Milan 10 Corso Como used to be my favorite saturday-afternoon-hangout. Not necessarily for shopping but more to be INSPIRED. The music, the fashion, the people – all major trends could be spotted here. Carla Sozzani, former VOGUE editor and Italy’s style pope, founded this place almost 20 years ago. It is a beautifully designed concept store that hosts a great selection of designer fashion, furniture, design objects, music and books. Hidden away from Milan’s tourist area with its flashy designer-temples, 10 Corso Como has established as one of Europe’s most influential TREND BOUTIQUES. Alaia, Louboutin, Marni, Balenciaga…of course all these big names come with a hefty price tag! Luckily, the store now decided to cooperate with Net-a-Porter’s online-outlet “The Outnet” to sell one-of-a-kind pieces from past collections. Good for us!

Here are some of my favorites:
