Italian Fashion Experience
This wasn’t a class. The Italian Fashion Experience was built for anyone who loves fashion.
Stylists, yes, but also the friend who reads every runway recap, the person who plans vacations around museums, the one who just wants to stand inside the history.
Italy isn’t just a backdrop for fashion, it’s the source.
Valentino, Versace, Prada, Armani: some of the most powerful names in the industry didn’t just launch here, they were built on the same streets we walked. Our fashionistas enjoyed a front row seat to what it means to spend time in a true fashion powerhouse.
Every stop on this itinerary was curated because it mattered, vetted ahead of time by someone who knows the industry from the inside.
That means no wasted afternoons and no guessing which atelier is worth the visit. Just the best the Italian fashion scene has to offer, curated for people who love it, by someone who knows exactly where to take them.

Rome • Florence • Milan •
Florence • The Birthplace of Gucci & Leather Craft
The Gucci Museum
We stood in the birthplace of Gucci, the brand that turned Florentine leather craft into a global house. History you can only really feel in the room it happened in.
A Leather Handbag Factory in the Tuscan Hills
Florence is the leather capital of the world, and we went straight to the source, touring a working factory in the hills outside the city.
Milan • Where the Fashion Business Lives
Touring Brera Fashion District With Local Experts
Local experts walked us through the Brera fashion district, the neighborhood where Milan’s design culture actually lives.
Inside Designer Ateliers
We visited working designer ateliers and toured their studios, seeing collections come together in the spaces where they’re made.
Armani Museum
We stepped inside Armani Silos, the house's own museum dedicated to decades of Giorgio Armani's work. A look at how one designer built a global empire on quiet, tailored power, decades of archives housed in the same city where the brand still runs the show.
Rome - The Heart Of Italy
No trip to Italy is complete without spending time in its capital city, Rome. We kicked off this amazing tripwith an introduction to Italian culture through visiting the legendary Colosseum, touring the city via Vespa and of course a group pasta making class because when in Rome…🍝
Rome, Florence, and Milan hit different when you're living fashion instead of just looking at it.
Next stop: Tokyo. Stay tuned.
Forbes 30 Under 30 Stylist, Brittany Diego
Who’s Leading the Room
Led by Brittany Diego, an LA based stylist, Fashion Mentor Co founder, and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, with over a decade of experience working inside the fashion industry, from styling red carpets to dressing some of the biggest names in music and entertainment.
Every stop on this trip was chosen with intention: the Gucci Museum, a leather factory tucked into the Tuscan hills, and ateliers in Milan's Brera district weren't picked because they're easy to find.
They were chosen because they show fashion lovers something they can't Google: what it actually looks like to work inside the industry, not just admire it from the outside. This is access built from someone who's lived in the rooms most people only see from a distance.
