Fiorucci continues its commitment to investing in its community, strengthening its deep connection with Milan while embracing innovation.
As a name synonymous with Milan, Fiorucci’s legendary Galleria Passerella location was not just a retail space but a cultural institution, a hub of creativity that shaped the fashion world for decades. While the store closed in 2003, its influence has never waned. Today, Fiorucci is rewriting history by reimagining this space for the digital age.
For the first time ever, Fiorucci following the FW25 in Milan Fashion week will invite its community to step into the virtual version of the San Babila store, by simply scanning a QR code available on stickers and promotional materials scattered throughout Milan. Users will be able to access an immersive augmented reality experience transporting them back to the heart of the brand’s creative world.
