About Me I'm the founder of a slow-fashion and lifestyle label, 72Smalldive, an executive trainer, and the author of "Staying H.I.R.E.d , Cultural Kingmaker's Guide to Building a Work Oasis," and "Of Flat Earth and Protein Mania, Decoding Our Labyrinth of Biases". My passion for connecting the dots inspired me to create Withlocals' Treasures of Milan Fashion & Design Tour. Why Me? Most guides show you the "what" and the "when." And you get a blur of dates and statues that fade the moment you fly home. My tours are built on context. I connect the dots from Roman antiquity through the transformative 20th century to show you how Milan’s history flows in parallel with our modern world. I give you a new lens through which to see the city, making your visit intimate, memorable, and deeply relevant. Guide Focus - Cultural Social Evolution, Fashion & Design, Architecture If you've just arrived in Milan and want to truly experience this beautiful city, I'd be delighted to create a personalised tour for you, sharing how Milan's social history has shaped its distinctive fashion style and how to live like a true Milanese. I offer and also prefer to run personalised tours on the following topics: Fashion & Design - Italian & Milan Fashion History, - Italian Ready To Wear Design Philosophy - Prada Introspective - Armani Silos An Introspective. Historical Highlights From the Early Renaissance to Cisapline Architecture - Villa Necchi - Milan's Emergent Bourgeois Culture On Architecture Pricing For Treasures of Milan: Fashion & Design Tour, please view rates by clicking on the tour link. If you are looking for a more personalized contextual experience, pricing starts at the standard tour rate for Withlocals Your Way, as published on the Withlocals site, and scales based on your specific interests and schedule. Important Note for Summer Months: Due to potential closures of certain locations, it's preferable to contact me directly for a personalized tour rather than the standard Treasures of Milan Fashion & Design or Milan Highlights tour. Other Lifestyle Services I also offer other lifestyle services, such as Ladybug Personal Style Discovery (available live or online) and Pre-Departure Tour Preparation (online), for those who prefer to explore Milan independently.
