Frip
Frip is the most open-minded concept store in Milan – it looks forward to designers which are rather fresh in the industry. Marques Almeida from London and their denim treasures; BACK from Scandinavia; Acne Studios and their über cool t-shirts. Of course, as in every serious concept store, you can find niche magazines, too, strongly connected to innovative fashion and individual point of view. Located in the old city district of Naviglio, Frip is a fresh breath of air in the crowd of big, pricey boys.

Stella Jean fuses ethnical influences with daily silhouettes like no other. She keeps the right balance between wearable kitsch and oriental hand-made craftsmenship – warm wool chunky knits embroidered with Hindu jewels; beige A-shaped skirt with hand-painted illustrations; kimono wool cut and made in Tibet; silk pajamas with cozy prints of Taj Mahal. For AW15 Stella, together with Ethical Fashion Group, debuted bags – made in ethical way in India from papier mache. Although this might sound a bit crazy, but the bags are really good in it’s design and durability. If talking of the jewellery, it exudes with tropical heat,
In Milan, Stella Jean is strongly valued not only by the store buyers, but also by women which really wear her absolutely fantastic designs for casual occasions. Re-seeing the clothes after the Milan Fashion Week was a real pleasure of mine! Here are more photos taken by me.

One of her cozy stores in located in Milan, at the Sant Eustorgio place – and here you may find some truly beautiful clothes. Delicate patterns, warm colours, soft pajama shirts, bags by Mimi which are made in Italy and jewellery by Italian designers. The interior is simple – but is matches and exposes the clothes like no other. Also, the French brocade socks and Urbinati’s signature printed cushions are must-haves, too.
