My exploration begins in the most Milanese of ways, at the launch of Giorgio Armani’s latest collection at his central headquarters. The show was classic Armani, combining his signature styles and utilising his material du jour, crisp, black velvet.


Backstage, “Mr Armani” — as he is known — is passionate about his adopted city and sees the same simplicity in the city that he builds into his designs. “Milan is a big village. Everything is within reach, everything is nearby, which is very important in our job, from the design aspect to production and the markets. Milan is the place where you create real fashion. It’s not just about putting on a show. It’s what happens after that matters,” he explains.


In a city where fashion isn’t just an art form but a way of life, “after” often takes place at one of the many “lifestyle destinations” created by the city’s biggest fashion houses. Armani’s hotel competes with Dolce & Gabbana’s Bar Martini and the Just Cavalli Club. My next stop is the new Ceresio 7 — owned by DSquared designers Dan and Dean Caten.


To the Caten brothers, the city today is a vastly different beast from the one they came to in the mid-Nineties to open their now-global brand. “Now it’s so developed and mature. There are a lot of new buildings, a lot of new architecture. It’s growing up,” says Dan.


Still, Milan’s essence remains the understated luxury that has long defined it. “As a designer you have a sensibility about style and balance. You have your booths, you have your privacy,” Dan continues.


Across town, hiding from view is not an option for Roberto Bolle, principal ballet dancer and my backstage tour guide at La Scala opera house. “I know every corner of this building. I grew up here,” he tells me. For Bolle, Milan is not so much changing as it is growing — the art is getting better and the creativity more intense. Today Milan continues to be refined, like a dancer or designer meticulously honing their craft, all the while growing stronger for it.Read more at:http://www.queenieprom.co.uk/high-low-prom-dresses
