June 22, 2005 in Rome
After taking a lot of pictures of Italian girls for my lecherous friends... ummm, I mean male compatriots with artistic appreciation of the female form, I thought I should try to give back. Okay, this may be a shallow way to do so, but I took a trip to Rome's most expensive shopping neighborhood and shot some pictures. These are all places I cannot afford to shop at or buy you things from, yet.
The designer area is located from the base of the Spanish Steps for a few blocks south (this includes a few blocks east and west). Several designers have multiple stores, seemingly for the different types of looks they offer. Amusingly, I have heard that aside from the very upscale restaurants in this neighborhood, the more moderate places to eat are among the worst in the city (offering frozen foods that they heat up, much like eating at a lot of restaurants back home).
If you like designer clothes, shoes, more shoes, purses, even more shoes, ties, belts, etc. all for high prices, this is the area for you. The stores are seperated by narrow stone streets, and you need only walk a few feet before coming across three more places that would bankrupt most people for an outfit.
