About Quadrilatero della Moda (Fashion District)
The world's most prestigious fashion district, four elegant streets (Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga, Via Sant'Andrea, Corso Venezia) lined with the flagship boutiques of every major Italian and international fashion house.
The Quadrilatero della Moda, the Fashion Quadrilateral, is the most prestigious shopping district in Italy and one of the most important fashion addresses in the world, alongside the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, Bond Street in London, and Fifth Avenue in New York. The four principal streets, Via Montenapoleone ("Montenapò"), Via della Spiga, Via Sant'Andrea, and Corso Venezia, are lined with the flagship boutiques of Gucci, Prada, Versace, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, and dozens more. The district is also the setting for Milan Fashion Week, held twice yearly in February and September, when it becomes the global epicentre of the fashion industry. Even if shopping is not your priority, the area is architecturally beautiful, nineteenth-century palazzi with neoclassical facades, and perfect for window-shopping and people-watching.
Did you know? Via Montenapoleone is consistently ranked among the most expensive retail streets in the world by rent per square metre, competing with Fifth Avenue, New York, and Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
