MILAN - hate this place during fashion month.... i just love 10 Corso Como... a concept store housing the hottest pieces from different designers..a fab outdoor cafe in the piazza and a lovely gallery and art book store. I love this place really... it could be my home..it's by Carla Sozzani..aged veteran of fash industry...i am still looking for a little spot like this in shanghai...
