Milan: 10 Corso Como

Founded by one of fashion’s chicest people and in one of fashion’s chicest cities, editor Carla Sozzani’s 10 Corso Como in Milan fulfills its destiny as a runway-to-real-world oasis. There’s more than Alaïa and Comme des Garçons, though. The well-appointed store sells Italian furniture that could inspire your next home makeover, and features a bookstore to get lost in and an art gallery to wander. Make a day out of it: Depending on your mood, you can take your pressed juice, espresso, and focaccia in the lush garden café, or sit down to a full dinner in the restaurant and lounge area.
