This one-of-a-kind experience goes beyond the surface glitz and glam. It’s not just about walking through the luxury lanes of Milan; it’s about living Milan’s fashion ethos from the inside out. Lufthansa, known for flying travellers in unmatched comfort, elevated the idea of travel itself by merging cultural exchange with style. With Milan Insider, the airline showcased its ability to connect not just destinations, but creative minds from different corners of the world—fostering a deeper understanding of what makes Milan a fashion powerhouse. 

Tanya Khanijow, one of India’s top travel creators, flew into the heart of this experience, bringing her wanderlust-fuelled storytelling to Milan’s glittering streets.

Milan is often seen as a city where luxury meets innovation, and this collaboration reflected that perfectly. Together, Tanya and Lucia embarked on a fashion-filled adventure, combing through Milan’s famed Quadrilatero d’Oro (Golden Rectangle), home to prestigious names like Prada, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana. However, the magic of the trip didn’t just lie in window shopping through iconic boutiques; it was in the discovery of hidden gems, the under-the-radar pop-up stores, and the chic boutiques tucked away from the bustling streets.

While Milan’s high-end fashion is the stuff of dreams, the city is also a treasure trove of unique, independent designers. Lucia, with her insider knowledge, guided Tanya through the city’s eclectic fashion scene, where the lines between traditional and contemporary blur. The two influencers handpicked one-of-a-kind pieces that reflected both personal flair and Milan’s timeless elegance. From luxurious boutiques on Via Montenapoleone to a spontaneous pop-up find in Brera, every step of the way brought fresh discoveries. 

The Lufthansa Effect: Bringing Couture and Cultures Together 

This isn’t just a fashion journey—it’s a cultural exchange. Through Lufthansa’s Milan Insider, both Tanya and Lucia were able to explore the fusion of Indian and Italian style, creating looks that were as cosmopolitan as the city itself. It’s here, in this melting pot of high fashion and personal expression, that Lufthansa’s true contribution shines. By connecting a global traveller with a local tastemaker, Lufthansa enabled a deeper dive into the Milanese spirit, giving Tanya access to an experience usually reserved for those in the know. 

The collaboration between the Indian and Italian influencers showcased how fashion transcends borders, how a sari-inspired scarf could meet Milan’s love for sleek lines, and how cultural heritage can enrich even the most modern wardrobe. Tanya’s vibrant, travel-inspired fashion sensibilities meshed beautifully with Lucia’s quintessentially Milanese eye for classic, understated elegance. Together, they curated looks that were not only fashion-forward but deeply reflective of both cultures. 

Beyond the Runway: Curating an Immersive Milanese Fashion Experience 

While Milan’s reputation as a fashion capital is undeniable, there’s more to the city than what meets the eye. In between trying on couture and sipping espressos in stylish cafés, the duo explored the deeper side of Milan’s fashion culture. They visited exclusive showrooms where local designers weave contemporary innovation with traditional Italian craftsmanship, and they explored lesser-known neighbourhoods like Isola, where edgy streetwear meets avant-garde designs. 

Tanya’s journey through Milan wasn’t just about shopping for clothes; it was about understanding the essence of Milanese style—a blend of effortless chic, meticulous craftsmanship, and an appreciation for the finer details. Lucia introduced her to the Milanese style of neutral tones and tailored cuts, while Tanya brought a splash of bold colour and eclectic style to the mix.

As Tanya and Lucia uncovered Milan’s sartorial secrets, it became clear that fashion in Milan isn’t just a trend—it’s a way of life. From the cobbled streets of Brera to the haute couture of Via della Spiga, every corner of the city pulses with style. And thanks to Lufthansa, this dynamic duo didn’t just visit Milan—they lived it, breathed it, and styled it. 

Whether it’s the precision tailoring of an Armani suit or the spontaneous flair of a pop-up find, Milan’s fashion scene is a rich tapestry of experiences waiting to be unravelled. With Lufthansa as the bridge between cultures, Tanya and Lucia’s collaboration became a celebration of what makes Milan the undisputed capital of style.
