10 Corso Como is a multifunctional concept store dedicated to art, fashion, music, design, cuisine and culture
10 Corso Como was founded in 1990 in Milan, Italy, by gallerist and publisher Carla Sozzani.

How to get there

ps.
please note: the entrance is sort of hidden, when you reach it just go in, cross the courtyard, ignore the restaurant on your right (or maybe not!) and get in the shop, at your left!

when there don't forget to explore the wonderful Galleria Carla Sozzani , a wonderful exibit space as well as a very interesting bookshop.

happy day dreaming!
