I love how she told her assistant not to accept rude behavior!

I have a friend who had a very high end shop ( probably the only one in Salt Lake!). She brought her [very well behaved] dog into the shop with her every day. One day a well dressed woman came to the shop, looked at Anna Sophia ( the dog) and stated very aggressively “ I don’t like dogs”. My friend then, without batting an eye said “ and I don’t like people who don’t like dogs” - not giving a second thought to lost sales!

Anyway, this was lovely and now I need to travel to Milan now❤️

Furiously adding books by Jorge Amado and debating when my next visit to Milan will be. Alessia is such a wonderful person. She embodies the genuine, unpretentious, pure love for fashion. Thank you for taking this interview with her.

And this: "If a client comes to the store, I stay quiet while they make their selections, and based on them I then propose something to them, and often they’ll buy it. My gift is empathy, I think." Is amazingly on point and a gift indeed! I also tried on a lot of things, then she suggested this gorgeous but understated Prada coat that I'd overlooked and I tried it and it fit like a dream so I ended up buying it. Can't wait to be back to her store.
