Kristina Ti

Founded in 1964 by Franco Tardito, Kristina Ti has always been about providing all types of women, whether stiletto clad or barefoot loving, functional, quality fashion that will last through the years. Since taking over in 2006, Franco's daughter, Cristina Tardito, has made Kristina Ti not only a Milan mainstay, but an internationally recognized name in the world of couture.

           

Specializing in quirky and sophisticated yet completely wearable apparel and accessories, Kristina Ti’s selection embodies a universally-loved aesthetic. Those who appreciate a high quality basic will fall in love with their navy-pinstripe blazers, tailored to perfection and priced at €450. On the other hand, women looking to make a statement will have a hard time deciding between their faux-leather ruffle bikinis and toucan-patterned maxi dresses. If budget isn't an issue, then leaving with both is always the right answer.

The airy flagship store on Via Solferino boasts three pastel-pink-painted levels to explore. Start your shopping excursion on the ground floor, where you’ll find a polished selection of girly ready-to-wear items from sundresses to suit pants. Once you’ve picked out the perfect ensemble, head upstairs through the winding spiral staircase for some graphic jewelry, a funky handbag, and a pair of pumps to match. While the assortment of apparel and accessories certainly holds its own, don’t miss out the intimate underground floor where you’ll find swimwear, silky PJ sets, and lingerie that puts Victoria's Secret to shame.

A “style chameleon” in the world of retail, Kristina Ti’s comprehensive collection of wardrobe essentials is a crowd pleaser for women of all aesthetics.
