From Naples To Milan

Day one en route to Milan and as luck would have it, our next model, would of course seat herself next to me…so we have about an hour to Milan (with the occasional delay, this is Italy after all) and after complimenting her on her marvelous Goyard shopper (I am a big fan and hint hint, my birthday is coming up!), the ice was cracked and we got on like a house on fire indeed…swopping our fashion stories and hits and misses of the fashion season…It was my first encounter with an Italian on this trip and as she hails from Naples, we spoke at length about the differences between the northerners and the southerners…in the south, they love colour and in the north, it is chic…in Milan especially, it is serious fashion, almost business like. It isn’t every day that we are privy to this sort of almost ‘insider’ info regarding the Italians, so, it was a riveting train ride…although early, and no coffee in sight (I was saving my appetite for a good espresso at Eataly), I was suddenly alert as if I was at a final exam in school!  So, it was of course natural to ask her to pose for us on the bustling central station platform in Milan, no less…but she was more than gracious and in a few minutes, we had the following images wrapped up. We, here at Dashing George, love the leo print bomber because it is collarless and the simple, yet high tech trousers are wonderful, because they are perfectly cut. The sandals are modern (with a hint of Fendi) and her personalized Goyard is fashion forward with the bag straps wrapped in silk scarves, no less.
