Milan Fashion Week offers an ideal high-low mix: mega-wattage fashion (Versace! Prada!) and relaxed, Mediterranean vibes. To capture that feeling on NYC’s streets, shop the best of Italian designers available at stores throughout Manhattan now. You may even get a welcoming espresso—or prosecco—for stopping by.
1.) Rendered in a fall-friendly bordeaux hue and decked out with cheery embellishments, Fendi’s double baguette bag is a dreamy autumnal shoulder bag. It’s made in Italy (of course) and features a roomy, supple suede interior. Fendi, 598 Madison Ave., fendi.com
2.) There’s no question that a leather jacket is a wardrobe staple, but this opulent version by Etro is very much a statement piece. We adore the plethora of beads and sequins, as well as the dragon appliqué on the back. Etro, 89 Greene St., etro.com
3.) Velvet—that oh-so luxe material—was everywhere on the fall runways and continues to be a trend for spring 2017 (the fabrication has made appearances in New York and London thus far). It is used to utter perfection on Prada’s platform sandals, simultaneously playful and decadent. Prada, 575 Broadway, prada.com
4.) Colorful and chic, Versace always finds a way to create ready-to-wear that is infinitely wearable and fashionable at the same time. This wool bomber jacket is practical too, crafted from a stretch wool-blend that will wear well all fall and winter long. Versace, 647 Fifth Ave., versace.com
5.) The theme for Moschino’s fall runway was #ITSLIT and it makes perfect sense that creative director Jeremy Scott would translate it into the cheeky print seen on this woven wool sweater. It’s an instant outfit maker when paired with denim and boots. Moschino, 73 Wooster St., moschino.com
