Store windows--and merchandise displays like this one in Florence with Medusa wearing a nose ring--can be pretty alluring in a place like Italy.
Trieste
When I texted Thom this photo of his favorite underwear brand, he gave me an assignment: bring me back six pairs, any color. But it was too late. I'd already departed Trieste and I never saw another store.
Venice
The first time I encountered a Duck Store in Poland, it enchanted me. No more. Familiarity really does breed contempt.
Florence
Has any American company done a better job of re-branding? Apparel once purchased at Midwestern feed stores is now available from trendy boutiques in Center Historico!
Milan
Rinascente proves that at least one bricks and mortar department store in the world isn't on life support, although it's no longer Italian-owned. But good luck getting a sales person to help you!
