Over the years, I’ve heard contrasting grips and praises by Italians for Milan. From being the “grey” city to the epicenter for contemporary culture and fashion in Italy. I love a big city, as I come from one (Seattle!) and at that, one which also has a reputation for being grey and rainy. In case you are new to this blog, you should see how I feel about fashion on this throwback post in 2015 when Vogue came through Florence. Ironically enough and despite my nonchalant attitude towards fashion and refusal to wear high heels, I love Milan.
