Excelsior Milano, Galleria Del Corso 4 Wholesale Jerseys, 011-39-02-7630-7301.
London has Selfridges, Harvey Nicks and Liberty; New York has Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys and Saks; and Paris has Le Bon Marché, Les Galeries Lafayette and Au Printemps. Milan, on the other hand, has been conspicuously lacking in luxury department stores. But that all changed earlier this month Wholesale Jerseys, with the opening earlier of Excelsior Wholesale Jerseys, a multilevel shopping destination with a fashion sense that runs the gamut from Dries Van Noten to Balmain (the renowned local boutique owner Antonia Giacinti is a consultant), a trio of restaurants from the local celebrity chef Davide Oldani and departments stocked with everything from retro-fabulous meat slicers to flower arrangements by the edgy florist Numero 9. The former cinema has been reimagined by the architect Jean Nouvel as an ode to the history of film: floors are laid out as parapet balconies, and wraparound L.E.D. screens show a continuous stream of film stills. Even the sales clerks dress the part. The women who work in the cosmetics and fragrance hall on the first floor wear stripy Breton tops, cropped black trousers and ankle-strap heels and the guys who sell men’s clothes on the second floor sport tartan shirts, chinos and solid ties. Despite the inauspicious location, right next to a low-end mall, and the coy facade (Nouvel hid the entrance behind a giant louvered blind, and there are no window displays), we foresee a flurry of fashion-week pilgrimages.
