NonostanteMarras

Top choice in Milan


Brainchild of Sardinian fashion designer Antonio Marras, this eccentric concept store has an almost cinematic feel. Hidden in an ivy-draped courtyard, the industrial-style loft is artfully arranged, featuring racks of dreamy womenswear together with seemingly random objects, like a silken settee, framed landscape paintings or a wall of oddly shaped mirrors.
