Antonioli presents emerging and avant-garde fashion in a former silent-cinema building, its Via Paolo Paoli address since 2003.
Carla Sozzani's pioneering concept universe — fashion, art, books, and the courtyard café that invented the genre. Established 1991.
Milan luxury multi-brand boutique founded in 1999 by Antonia Giacinti; partner Maurizio Purificato opened a men's store in 2007, and in 2013 both were combined into the Palazzo Cagnola on Via Cusani in the Brera district, since expanded to Macao and Wuhan.
Antonioli is a Milan concept store founded in 1987 by Claudio Antonioli, now at Via Paolo Paoli 1 (a former silent-cinema building) since 2003, curating avant-garde and emerging international fashion labels.
Carol Christian Poell produces experimental clothing and footwear through object dyeing, treated leather and unconventional construction. Distribution is deliberately limited, so this brand-level record needs a verified public retail door.
Milan's historic stationer — leather notebooks, fountain pens, wax seals, and the shop that still sells correspondence materials to discerning Milanese.
The secret garden — behind the concept store, the courtyard restaurant, and the green oasis that makes 10 Corso Como feel like another world.
Founded in 1768, Ditta Guenzati sells fine fabrics, Scottish tartans, hats, knitwear, kilts and British-style accessories. Its Via Agnello premises, a few steps from the Duomo, still keep their original early-19th-century Biedermeier fittings.
Sunnei mixes unconventional tailoring with rubberised bags, footwear and brightly coloured accessories. Product drops and experimental presentations change quickly, so the online catalogue is the clearest guide to what is currently available.
WAIT and SEE mixes clothing with shoes, jewellery and accessories from changing independent labels. The Milan store’s colourful, densely styled rooms reward browsing across categories rather than shopping a single designer.
