Milan is Italy's style, fashion and party capital--where else would fit quite so nicely into the hedonistic categories. Footballers, fashionistas, models and playboy bankers pack the intimate and sophisticated bars and restaurants before hitting the exclusive club scene, which could only be rivalled by Miami's. The shopping is other worldly and the guide leads you around Milan's exclusive designer stores.
