Hauteoc Traveler to Launch “Behind The House of Style” featuring a visit with Italian Vogue’s former Editor-at-Large Carla Sozzani and leading Chef of Italy, Carlo Cracco

Famed Leading Chef of Italy Carlo Cracco
Italy is waiting.
To be explored.
To be discovered.
To be tasted and most importantly –for fashionistas–tried on and experienced in all of its grandeur.
For centuries clients, buyers and the press have converged on Milan to celebrate high-end couture and elite style salons. Now Hauteoc Traveler, Hauteoc.com, the foremost purveyor of luxury vacations and travel, will assist style aficionados and foodies alike as they orchestrate a premiere style expedition to Milan, Italy and beyond.

Carla Sozzani is the Italian gallerist founder of Galleria Carla Sozzani and the creator of 10 Corso Como in Milan.
Hauteoc has created a customized journey to elite fashion houses (you have always wanted to visit but could not access), VIP members-only events, and access to five star restaurants and hotels, in a seamless Italian expedition. Hauteoc’s small-group sightseeing tracks are educational, participatory and mind-broadening. The team will deliver this fashionable voyage with trusted personalized service, so living your dreams of couture becomes easier than you ever thought possible.

A few of the notable ‘Behind the Scenes’ events include a sneak peek at fashion houses, factories and designer showrooms such as:
- Preview the prêt-à-porter woman’s collections for 2013 from fashion houses Dolce e Gabbana, Alberta Ferretti, Armani, Moncler and more
- Visit Bottega Veneta headquarters and designer showrooms: Marni, Laura Urbinati & Luisa Beccaria
