SHOPPING IN TORINO
Perhaps not everyone knows it, but the city of Torino plays a crucial role in the birth of Italian fashion. It was during the 1911 Expo, in the luxurious Fashion Pavilion, that the birth of “Italian Tailoring” was first discussed. This was the occasion in which Parisian fashion came into contact with our country, changing forever the way of conceiving clothes and the idea of dressing.

Today, the city offers an exceptional and varied shopping experience, thanks to its historic streets, many of which are pedestrianised, where the passion for fashion blends with the beauty of the city.
