MILAN - Rome has the Colosseum. Florence has Michelangelo's "David.'' Venice has the Grand Canal.

But no Italian city - or any city in the world, for that matter - rivals Milan when it comes to shopping. As the home of nearly every major Italian designer, it's a fashion lover's paradise.

Since it's also the hub for Italian finance, publishing, music, advertising, Cheap Jacob&Co Watches and design, this sprawling city is more of a business center than a tourist mecca. Here people don't take leisurely lunches, as in most other parts of Italy. There's too much work to do.

Besides the Duomo (the world's largest Gothic cathedral), the recently renovated La Scala opera house, and Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper,'' there's not a lot to see.

Unless you love to shop.

Every major designer has a store in the Quadrilatero d'Oro or "golden rectangle," a Cheap Jaeger leCoultre Watches shopping area near the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. It's Rodeo Drive, Fifth Avenue and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor rolled into one.

A Prada store pops up every few blocks. (We counted five.) There are four large Dolce & Gabbana stores near each other. Hometown boy Giorgio Armani has three shops (including one exclusively for children called Armani Junior) and a megastore that takes up an entire city block.

In addition to clothing, the slate-gray store includes a florist, a candy shop (where bite-size pieces of chocolate are marked with the letter "A"), a perfumery, a bookstore, a furniture store (Armani Casa) and two restaurants. One is an outlet of the famous New York eatery, Nobu.

How about this stellar lineup? Valentino, Versace, Ferr, Ferragamo, Zegna, Cheap Montblanc Watches, La Perla, Bottega Veneta, Bulgari, Fendi, Missoni, Miu Miu, Marni, Miss Sixty, Moschino, Laura Biagiotti, Jil Sander, Alberta Ferretti, Cartier, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Tiffany, Tod's, Hermes and Chanel all have boutiques in the area.

Pets are also welcome in the toniest shops. An attractive young couple with their Saint Bernard stopped in the Roberto Cavalli store and poked through a rack of expensive dresses. The sales help seemed unfazed.

People-watching is first rate along the Via della Spiga, where many of the chic stores are located. On a chilly, rainy day, the pedestrian-only street was full of women in full-length fur coats and umbrellas.

When the weather is really bad, shoppers escape to the nearby Galleria Cheap Omega Watches Emanuele II, a four-story shopping arcade with a gorgeous steel-and-glass canopy. Built in 1864, the arcade is home to Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada as well as a supersize McDonald's that seems out-of-place among the houses of haute couture.

The arcade floor is outlined in wonderful mosaics that represent Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. One of the most well-worn mosaics is a bull. If you dig your heel into its private parts and spin around, you'll have good luck, according to local legend.

The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, a commercial street with a covered walkway that extends from the Duomo to the Piazza San Babila, offers such enticing stores as MaxMara, Zara and a couple of H&M department stores. Mixing high-end designer wear with chic, low- cost items from Zara or H&M seems to be a local pastime.

For a real fashion treat, call a cab (you can't hail a cab here; your hotel or Cheap Panerai Watches will call one that arrives quickly) and head to 10 Corso Como. Former Italian Vogue editor Carla Sozzani founded the store 15 years ago in a converted car-repair shop. Influenced by Oriental bazaars, Sozzani divided the 13,000-square-foot complex into areas that include a bookstore, a photography and design gallery, sections for cosmetics and house-wares, along with dozens of designer boutiques.

TWO FOR TOP?: Comme des Garons' Rei Kawakubo may be the next player in the high-low shuffle. "[Kawakubo] contacted us to say how much she liked the Topshop Unique fall/winter collection that she'd seen online, and to say she may be interested in some sort of future collaboration - though nothing's Cheap Glashutte Watches," a Topshop spokesman said on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Topshop already has fixed its next guest star: Celia Birtwell, the famed print designer and ex-wife of fashion legend Ossie Clark. The line, dubbed Celia Birtwell for Topshop, retailing from about $40 to $120, will be unveiled April 26 at its Oxford Circus store in London.

WORLDS COLLIDE: It's a rare happening that Tiffany & Co. pipes Color Me Badd's classic "I Want to Sex You Up" through the speakers of its patrician Fifth Avenue flagship. Hip-hop, however, was architect Frank Gehry's personal request of DJ AM, who spun for the New York launch of Gehry's collection of jewelry for the firm on Monday night. A mix of young and seasoned celebrities came to congratulate Gehry - who created, among other silver and gold jewelry, a $1 million brooch of platinum and baguette Cheap Graham Watches modeled after the floor plan of the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, which he designed. Also on hand were Ashton Kutcher, Lake Bell, Kristin Chenoweth, Susan Sarandon, Billy Crystal, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.

PARTY LINE: Who said politics and fashion don't mix? Christophe Girard, director of fashion strategy at LVMH and a deputy mayor of Paris, next month will receive an honorary doctorate from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, a degree already bestowed on the likes of Azzedine Alaa. Meanwhile, Girard, surely one of the busiest men in Paris, still finds time to pen books: Two are slated for a May release. One is a novel he wrote 12 years ago about a French youth growing up in the revolutionary Sixties. The other, entitled "A Father Like Any Other," is more explosive. Girard bills it as "the first time in France an openly gay politician speaks about being a father." Girard wrote the book with his son, David, 23, a philosophy student.

FACE TIME: Models - plenty of them - seem to be the formula de jour at Cheap Hamilton Watches fashion houses as they shoot their fall/winter ad campaigns. A week after Louis Vuitton wrapped up its spots featuring Naomi Campbell, Du Juan and others comes word that Givenchy has reached beyond house regular Mariacarla Bonscono and cast Liya Kedebe and Stella Tennant, too. Photographers Ines van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin lensed the Givenchy spots last week in Paris.

A BEVY OF BLASS: Michael Vollbracht is cranking up the star wattage at Bill Blass. Julia Roberts is on the May cover of Vanity Fair's green issue in a Bill Blass gown, and Oprah Winfrey chose a print taffeta shirtwaist dress for O's May cover shot. Vollbracht also is dressing Jessica Lange in a blue strapless chiffon dress when the two-time Academy Award winner becomes only the second woman to be honored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Barbara Walters buzzed by the Blass showroom Tuesday to put the finishing touches on the dress she plans to wear to the Emmys, and Elizabeth Taylor already has put dibs in for a frock to wear in a shoot for Harper's Bazaar's July edition. But the median age of the designer's clientele appears to Cheap Hublot Watches balancing out, as evidenced by Kristin Cavallari's Blass-clad cover shot on the May issue of Teen People, and Eva Longoria, who's said to be working with the line for an upcoming Latin Vogue cover.

Apr. 20--DECATUR -- A 41-year-old Decatur man is in police custody after a police chase that ended when a sport-utility vehicle smashed into a small school bus at Jasper and Condit streets Wednesday afternoon.

"He'll be going to jail as soon as he's done at the hospital," said Decatur Police Lt. Linda Hassinger.

Dennis Donald will be charged with retail theft, resisting and obstructing police, Watches for sale traffic violations and motor vehicle theft, Hassinger said.

No serious injuries were reported, but the accident left the front end of the bus and the blue SUV smashed, and crash victims were removed from the scene on stretchers.

"No students were on board, but there was obviously the driver and an attendant on board," said Dawn Torchia, community engagement specialist for Decatur schools. "Our top concern at this point is their safety, that they're OK."

Police say the two victims in the bus and the driver of the SUV were taken to Cheap A.Lange & Sohne Watches Memorial Hospital with "minor" injuries.

Decatur police pursued the suspect in the SUV eastbound on Condit Street after a holdup alarm was pulled at U-Top Beauty and Fashion in Fairview Park Plaza.

Police later discovered the alleged crime was retail theft.

The crash left neighbors shaken.

"It sounded just like a bomb exploded," one resident said of the crash.

Tire tracks gashed through a yard, and the SUV came to rest near the Cheap Alain Silberstein Watches of Macon County Health Department.

The bus lay in ruin at the intersection of Jasper and Condit.

A man interviewed by police said he heard screeching tires and saw the driver of the SUV jump out of the vehicle and run north between nearby houses.

"I thought he'd see if anybody was hurt," said the witness, who only gave his first name of Charles. "But nope. Off he went."

Police soon apprehended the driver, the witness said.

Neighbors say it's not the first high-speed chase or example of dangerous driving in the area.

Tiffany Williams saw the SUV rapidly moving east on Condit Street. The Cheap Baume & Mercier Watches was pursued by a police car with flashing lights, she said.

"It was going really fast," Williams said. "It sounded like a jet, I swear."
