One of the most famous peculiar shops for building up your own street style.

Open: daily 10am-12.30pm & 3-7pm, except Wed & Sat, 10am-7pm. This warehouse-like outlet stocks every designer you can imagine – yes, including American designers. The first room (as you enter) on the ground floor is where you’ll find the high-end designer merchandise. And this is where you’ll find literally hysterical women (not kidding) busily grabbing away at the heavily discounted Marni (Giorgio Armani), Prada etc outfits at this legendary store – as if they were free! During their sale, you may want to camp outside the boutique overnight as prices here are known to be slashed further by as much as 70% over and above the original heavily discounted prices!

Milan’s party people wears American Apparel the most, so if you plan to stay in the city and going out there you cannot refrain from going shopping at American Apparel’s. This is a famous worldwide brand so it’s not necessary to spend too much words on what you can find, but it’s the best for eighties inspired style.
