Milan calling

Our columnist discovers gorgeous architecture and fabulous food in Italy.

BUONGIORNO, Milan! The scenery by train from Venice was breathtaking. The endless countryside green during the almost three-hour ride helped me to unwind and refresh my mind before reaching Milan, where we had a stall at the White Milano Trade Fair. I even started to brainstorm, and draw out new ideas and designs for my next collection. I think the European culture has really grown on me!
