The MotherLode

And I thought Paris was the shopping Motherlode. I was wrong. Every top designer is represented here in Milano, multiple times. I lost count as to how many Louis Vuitton stores we walked by today. Versace, Prada, Gucci, Benetton, Max Mara, Jimmy Choo, and of course one of my favorites, Missoni. If you talk to an Italian it's pronounced Missoooni, with reverence of course. The iconic zig zags and fabulous fabrics are beyond compare. Many try to reproduce it but all fall short.
There were dozens more fabulous design houses represented, all with extravagant store fronts. You have to ask yourself just how important all this is in making us happy. Do the clothes we wear and the accessories we don make us feel satisfied. You know, I have to admit, I love carrying my little LV Speedy I got with my dear daughter at the Louis mothership in Paris. We had so much fun on our mother-daughter trip....ah. I do get a certain satisfaction wearing some of my favorite designers. Vain? A bit maybe. Materialistic? I'm sure...so where's my Missoni I just gotta have some color today.
