Alex thinks of herself as a fashion addict. She has one office in Sardinia and a second in Tuscany. She organizes fashion tours in the Costa Smeralda , an exclusive, eco-sensitive paradise on the north coast of Sardinia, in Tuscany, and in the Milan-Como-Mendrisio triangle. She seems to be everywhere! Let’s let her do the talking:
“I was wrapped up in the intriguing world of fashion for a long time and lived through unforgettable experiences - stressful & tiring yes but surely something I’d do again! Fashion, design and shows during the day and wonderful designer parties at night. An intoxicating – and exhausting – cocktail! The worst is that you have to wait six months until you can actually buy the clothes you have photographed!”
“Now, I want to share my fashion & shopping experience, including complete makeovers with you especially while you are in Milan.”
“In Tuscany, it will not be all about shopping and fashion but some good fun when we visit some of our local friends on their farms, producing wines and olive oils; or meet the owners of some spectacular villas - just some friends...!”
“In Sardinia, I’d be your personal shopper and your local host. I’d love to introduce you to my personal gourmet chef and sister-in-law, Alba, who teaches ancient Sardinian recipes you can’t find in any cookbook.”
MILAN & SURROUNDINGS…IN DEPTH WITH ALEXANDRA ATZENI
NOTE: Alex points out that a personal shopper can only be effective for two or, at most, three guests. An ideal match for InTouch!
