Nowness present: Darcel at Milan Fashion Week

Our Intrepid Friend Fuels Up on Espresso and Takes off for Italy's Fashion Capital.

Bye-bye beer and chips, buongiorno Barolo and risotto. Today our roving reporter Darcel dives into the flashiness of Milano—from the glamour of Gucci to the va-va voom of Versace to Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared’s extracurricular exploits. Of course Darcel is eagerly awaiting Miuccia’s unfailingly prescient take on the trends of the season, not to mention brushing shoulders with Stefano and Domenico at Dolce & Gabbana and Karl at Fendi. If his vision blurs with Missoni stripes at the end of each day, blame an unnecessary amount of time propping up the marble bar of the Principe. And please keep him from blowing his entire paycheck at 10 Corso Como.
