MONCLER Genius Building
The new kind of fashion show is actually a presentation, or should I say art exhibition?

CRACCO: Milan most stylish restaurant.
Michelin-starred chef Carlo Cracco’s newest venture, designed by Studio Peregalli is more than just a restaurant. A café, patisserie, wine bar, private lounge, and chocolatery, and of course a fine-dining restaurant. Located in Milan‘s historic Galleria Vittorio, the oldest functioning shopping mall in the world and an architectural marvel itself, Cracco takes a surprisingly loose approach to dining—grab an espresso in the morning, chow on saffron risotto for dinner, and sip on Merlot into the night.
SIXT GALLERY: Heaven commercial place
Here we see how we like to shop in the future. SIX GALLERY , the Sixème bistrot and the wonderful green design boutique, Irene, curated by David Lopez Quincoces and Fanny Bauer Grung, create a great place for design and quality food. The atmosphere is mainly created by the architectural office Quincoces-Drago & Partners and besides they hold a gallery which aims at combining design from different époques and origins.
The pieces shown range from collectors pieces to anonymous ones, which together tell the tale of an ever changing space and aesthetic., which you can enjoy by ordering lunch or just an espresso.
