SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP IN MILAN

Italy is the perfect place to combine a passion for travel with a passion for fashion, and where better to shop in Italy than in it's chic, sleek and uber-fashionable style capital, Milan. The city has germinated some of the most iconic designer labels on the planet, and is home to an overwhelming selection of top fashion-houses and designer stores. But if you are traveling to Milan on a budget, you may be forced to steer clear of the high-end establishments in and around the Quadrilatero d'Oro, and look for something a little more low cost. So is it possible to find cheap and chic fashion in Milan, or will you just wind up pressing your nose against the windows of Armani, Prada and Versace, wishing and hoping that some day you might just be able to go inside and actually buy something? Here is the skinny on smart shopping in Milan - how to pay less for discount designers, quirky vintage finds and cheap threads -

Studio K

Studio K can be found in the far eastern part of Milan on the Viale Bianca Maria, and is quite a trek from the city centre. The designer outlet does have many discount items from big names, and the clothes tend to be of the super-sexy, fairly flashy, diamante studded 'Donatella Versace' variety. If this is your style, you should find some cheap designer bargains that will please you. If this isn't your style, you will probably hate the place.

Basement

Basement can be found on the Via Senato. In the main designer area, it is possible to find some seriously cheap steals and pay less for big name designers. La Perla lingerie sets for €20, Miu Miu and Moschino purses for under €30, and much more besides will have thrifty fashionistas and bargain buyers in retail heaven. Arrive early and spend time hunting for the best low cost deals and prices, but remember not to lose your head altogether - although you will pay less for designer items, it's easy to overspend and break a budget when everything seems like such a bargain!

Fiorucci

Fiorucci on the Galleria Passarella 1 (just off the Piazza San Babila) is known as being a bit of a trend-setting Mecca for Milanese and tourists alike - despite its status as an 'anti-fashion' label. The basement of the store is a huge emporium with stall after stall selling every conceivable thing from kids clothing to North African household items. Here you will find the famous Fiorucci jeans, known for being particularly flattering to the female form, at a happily low cost.

Swap Meet

The swap meet (SM) at the San Donato in Milan is a little hard work and not as glamorous as swanning around the elegant designer stores, but if it's vintage designer gems and signature stuff you want, then you should check this out. You may be unlucky and find nothing, you may be blessed and stumble upon a cheap, chic and very unique 'diamond in the rough' piece. Worth a shot if you're a die-hard.

Space

Space is the official title of this Prada outlet that lies midway between Milan and Florence in the town of Montevarchi. Easily accessible in your rental car from Argus Car Hire, the outlet is difficult to spot, having only a small sign marking it's entrance. What may help you find the place is the crowd that tends to collect outside the store before it opens in the morning. Prepare to wait in line for entry to the store, but know that once inside you will find row upon row of Miu Miu and Prada clothing, accessories and shoes at up to a 70% discount from their regular retail price. For the best chances of finding the best bargain discounts and cheapest deals, arrive early and have your weetabix!
