See you for Aperitivo in Milano!

Tomorrow I fly off to..the future! It’s the start of the fashion calendar on Saturday and I will be covering the autumn 2010 mens shows in Milan and Paris with my good friend and colleague Celia. In menswear, Milan and Paris still reign supreme. Don’t get me wrong, I’m the biggest supporter of London Fashion Week that you could find, but for financial scale and influence, nobody cuts it like the continentals. Of course, I’m telling you all this because over the next week I will be drinking a lot of Prosecco and a heap-load of canapes. It is of course a lovely bonus that the two main fashion capitals are also foodie heavens. In Milan, it’s all about the aperitivo – the pre-dinner snacks you get with a cocktail for…the price of a cocktail! In Paris, it’s, well, it’s Paris isn’t it? Last time I visited the superb Mama Shelter in the 20th. I’m still making my mind up about this trip’s gastro destinations so any suggestions gladly appreciated!
