Twice a year, during the Fashion Weeks, the fashion pros travel to New York, London, Milan and Paris. The latesttrends on the runway are in the center of their attention. But there is also a lot going on beside the catwalks. Ofcourse there are shops, pubs and hotels in these big cities that are committed to sustainability - and the coolcrowd just loves them. We would like to introduce you to our favorites.

La Vecchia LatteriaSmall, white tiled snack, vegetarian Italian cuisine served - everything is homemade. Lunchtime is quiteturbulent. It is best to share mixed plates of cold and warm starters. Also on the menu: Riso, a simple rice dishprepared with broth, without Parmesan cheese (Via dell'Unione, 6).

Un Posto A MilanoIdeal retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city: a former 17th century farmhouse near the Porta Romana,now a centre for sustainable food and shopping, environmental awareness and culture. At the heart of theproject: "Un Posto a Milano", a mix of bar and restaurant. The ingredients for the dishes are mainly supplied bylocal farmers, the goods of whom can also be bought at a weekly market (Via Privata Cuccagna, 2,www.unpostoamilano.it (www.unpostoamilano.it)).
