10 Corso Como & Milan Fashion District: Day 7
For the last day in Milan until Verona, we spent it further immersing ourselves in Italian fashion culture. We started off by taking a walking tour of Milan and a high-end innovative retail store leading to the iconic Fashion District. This store was nothing like anything I had ever seen before in the United States,…
Day 7: A Tour of the Italian Fashion District
Day 7 was a simple day. This worked well because for some reason everyone in the group seemed extra tired at breakfast today, probably just a coincidence. Anyways we started the day off going into the 10 Corso Como art piece/store. The clothing there was really nice but also really expensive. I remember looking at…
Corso Como and the Crazy Young Fashion District
Today was a much shorter day than yesterday. After a later start to the day, we walked to 10 Corso Como. We had already gotten a chance to peak in during our walking tour of Milan, but this time we discussed some of its background before having some time to explore the entire store. 10…
Day #7 – Farewell To Milan
Compared to yesterday, I certainly had a much calmer, more relaxed day in Milan! We started with a company visit to 10 Corso Como, a high end store in Isola that combines fashion and lifestyle. An absolutely gorgeous store, it showcases the work of many well-known designers as well as many newer designers to expose…
Twenty Thousand Steps a Day Keeps the Carbs Away
Today was a pretty relaxing day; we visited 10 Corso Como and went on a fashion walking tour this morning. We did not really get a tour of 10 Corso Como, so we just looked around ourselves for a while. The store describes itself as a “interactive, living magazine.” It was almost like looking at…
Lineapple, Fashion Library, & Velasco: Day 6
Today was a very busy day. We went to the Lineapple Leather Company, the Milan Fashion Library, and had a company visit from Velasco. Lineapple was a very unique company to see as they spoke mostly about types of leather and their sustainability rather than the actual functions of their company and business model. It…
Exploring the Fashion District
Today we got a chance to take a walking tour of Milan’s famous fashion district. It was cool to see a change of scenery because a lot of Milan has traditional architecture but this part of the city was very modern and had a very urban feel to it. I really enjoyed walking by Giorgio…
Moments in Milan: Day 7

Day 7: The Alpini are Coming
Today started with a quick company visit to 10 Corso Como, a nearby shop with designer brands. After looking at a few price tags, I knew I should stop touching things. The store was littered with Gucci, Balenciaga, and a few other brands. It was also a trendy, avant-garde selection so definitely not my style….
Fashionable Last Day in Milan
Today we focused on the shopping culture that stems from the world-famous brands centered in Milan. Our first stop was 10 Corso Como, the city’s most luxury concept fashion store, named after the street on which it lives. As we walked through the vibrant, plant- laden entrance, I immediately knew that this is more than…
Day 6: Lineapelle, Tagliatelle, Velasca
Today was another perfect day in Milan! It was especially busy, as the Alpini gathering of Milan is occurring this weekend. I’ll be heading to the festival tomorrow, where thousands of Alpini veterans gather to celebrate their rich history. We started our day by visiting Lineapelle, an Italian leather consortium. They are responsible for hosting…
Day 6: There’s that many different types of leather?
Day 6 was a busy one, but also an insightful one as well. We started the day with a shadow of Lineapelle Leather. I definitely learned much about the production process of leather through this shadow. The presentation also involved being handed different types of animal leather for around 45 minutes nonstop. I felt leather…

Today was a very busy day for the Plus 3 students in Milan! We started our day off by going to a company called Lineapelle, which the “most important” international leather, fabric, and synthetic consortium.

Day 6: Leather & Good Weather
Day 6 here in Milan was a busy one! We first went on a site visit to Lineappelle. Lineappelle is a leather consortium, so we were able to learn a lot about leather and the leather industry during our time there. Italy is the largest exporter of leather, so learning about the industry while in…
Amicizia della moda
Il Giorno Sei era perfetto! Today we attended a presentation at the Lineapelle leather consortium, toured the Milan Fashion Library, and finished off with a lecture by Velasco. Lineapelle has a unique position in the supply chain, as they are an international leather and tannery exhibition that holds display fairs a few times a year…
Milano: Day 6
Today started off no different than previous days except for the fact that we were able to sleep in an extra thirty minutes, which was really the biggest treat. With a long day ahead of us we couldn’t waste any time and took the metro, which day after day seems to become much easier to…

Today was a long day, starting with a tour of the Lineapelle leather collection followed by a visit to the magazine archive for fashion that holds all prior history of fashion and what was popular going back to the 1800’s and finishing with a class lecture on more supply chain information. At Lineapelle, we were…

Our company visit for the day was to the Lineappelle leather consortium. We got the chance to learn more about how the company operates and about the leather industry in general.

Yes, that is Leather from a Stingray
Today kicked off with a company visit to Lineappelle which is a leather consortium. In the beginning we were given a lecture that highlighted Italy’s role in the global demand for leather. We learned the automotive industry is demanding more leather than ever before and consumer goods is demanding less. This affects the different type…
