With Milan Fashion Week in full swing, the talk of the town among le sciure (the city’s well-to-do ladies) is not what runway show they will attend or whose cocktail party they were invited to but rather which clothes belonging to the late Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani they will spring for—and then try desperately to fit into.
Last weekend, a few steps away from the Cimitero Monumentale—where mausoleums designed by Gio Ponti, Lucio Fontana, and Giò Pomodoro honor the deceased scions of the city’s industrialist dynasties—a crowd gathered at Via Enrico Tazzoli 3, where a sale of Sozzani’s clothes is taking place through the end of next month.
