The core of the fashion district in Milan is definitely Via Montenapoleone.
Luxurious boutiques of top Italian and international designers, antique shops, and tearooms are the physical proofs of Milan’s status of Europe's fashion capital.
Via Montenapoleone is the most important street of the Milan's Fashion District, called in Italian "Quadrilatero della moda" made of Via della Spiga, Via Manzoni, Via Sant'Andrea and Via Montenapoleone.
All major Italian fashion designers have their main ateliers and shops here: Giorgio Armani, Dolce&Gabbana, Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Kenzo, Krizia, Prada, Valentino, Versace, Vuitton or Zegna.

Starting on the right side of the Dome and ending in Piazza San Babila, Corso Vittorio Emanuele is a famous shopping area in Milan.
Important Italian and international brands, such as H&M, Zara, Calzedonia, own stores on Corso Vittorio Emanuele and although is a rather crowded area many visitors came here for feeling the city vibration.

Milan is one of the fashion centers of europe and shopping here is like heaven for the many fashionista's. The stores are really fabulous. And if you're lucky enuff to come here during the sales there will be some unique bargains to be found here.
But to be honest for most people...shopping here tends to be limited to the window variety.
If you are not here during the sale you can head out to the local Outlets with Il Salvagente being the best. But these shops are relatively small.
If you are serious about your shopping and looking for some real bargains...head out to the Outletmalls.
There are 2 near Milan. One is across the border in Switserland at Mendrissio and there are bus trips that arrange the shoppingtrips here.(http://www.foxtown.ch/mendrisio/it/welcome.html)
And there is another one on the road to Genoa at Serravella Scrivia.(http://www.mcarthurglen.com/centres/home_europe.cfm?centre=serravalle)
These are all quite far. At least an hour drive from Milan. But IMO these places are worth it. And frankly when you're in Italy it's a crime NOT to shop for clothes and if you really want to buy something and take shopping seriously these malls are must-visits.
Even if you don't like shopping these places are worth the visit. I think fashion from italy are the perfect gifts/souvenir. Haven't heard anyone complained yet.
Have fun and happy hunting. Directions: 1)Serravella-scrivia Designer Outlet McArthurGlen 2)Mendrissio Foxtown Outlet

Between the Duomo and the Castello/Parco Sempione you’ll find yourself walking on the Via Dante. A big street famous for all the banks that’s situated there, but also for all the shops and restaurants. All the way down from the cathedral is crowded with nice shops, for both men and women, fine restaurants, wine shops and then in the middle, at Piazza Cordusio, you’ll find all the banks.
Keep in mind though, that the restaurants here are quite expensive and touristy. The same goes for the shops, although they might be a bit specialized. I have hardly ever bought anything on Via Dante, but there are for sure some good shops there. Leave a Comment Address: Via Dante

Located in the heart of the city, from Piazza Cordusio to Castello Sforzesco, Via Dante is a lively commercial street of Milan.
Numerous shops (not fashion), but also restaurants and coffeehouses are attracting both tourists and natives.
Being close to the heart of Milan’s financial life (Piazza degli Affari - Piazza Cordusio), during lunch time many Milanese business men and banker can be seen taking the lunch or just a walk in this area.

Milan is known as the fashion capital of Italy, so it is the centre of the industry. This is reflected in its glitzy shopping district located in the "Golden Quad" or Quadrilatero d'Oro where many of the original signature shops of top-end Italian designers are found. Gucci, Prada, Versace, and Armani to name a few. Other world-famous designers have a presence here too making the area quite a scene. A stroll down Via Spiga or Via Monte Napoleone, which define the Quad, is essential whether or not one has the extra cash to spend! All those Ferrari owners probably do... Address: Via della Spiga - Via Monte Napoleone

Milan is the fashion capital of Italy and a very wealthy town. Most of the stores around the Quadrifoglio d'Oro (bounded by Via Montenapoleone, Via Spiga, Via Sant'Andrea, and Via Manzoni) are super chi chi--Prada, Armani, etc. For more mid-range and/or unique stuff, head to the Porta Ticinese area, or Corso Garibaldi.

Milan is, at least according to me, the most famous fashion-city in the whole world. You can see that from all the designers who lives and works there, from all the famous shops in Milan, but also from the two huge Fashion Weeks that every year happens in the Italian town.
The first is the last week in February, while the second one is during the first week of October.
I would be lying if you’ll see the fashion-theme all over town, as you might even miss it if you don’t know what you should be looking for. But on the other side, try to get a hotel in Milan during these two weeks… Book loooong time in advance, won’t say more… People from the whole world invades Milan for these weeks, and there are fashion shows about everywhere. Even at the central trainstation…
Last year I had forgotten about the fashion week, and it took me 3-4 days before I could understand where all these extra beautiful women came from… :D Leave a Comment Directions: More or less everywhere in the city...
