Europe Italy Milan Shopping The Golden Rectangle of Fashion

The Golden Rectangle of Fashion

The guide was updated:
The Quadrilatero d’Oro district — ‘The Golden Rectangle’ — is one of the world’s most important fashion landmarks and home to Milan’s most exclusive stores. Located just north of the Duomo, is defined by the four main streets that surround it: via Monte Napoleone, via della Spiga, via Manzoni and corso Venezia. Haute couture at every step, with all the brands one can expect. On via Sant’Andrea, look out for Hermès, Armani and Chanel. Here, located in the 17th century Palazzo Bolognini, you'll find the excellent Museo di Milano. The cobbled via della Spiga is the quintessential shopping street with two Dolce and Gabbana stores, Tiffany & Co., Roberto Cavalli, Prada and lots more. Don’t miss the Armani Megastore on via Manzoni. Take a break at Cova cafe on via Monte Napoleone and do some exclusive people watching. It's a place to see and be seen. Via Monte Napoleone is home to several Prada stores, the flagship Gucci store, Pucci, Fendi and Cartier.
