Glant’s Latest Collection: Autumn 2023: Milano Collection

Milano; que citta!!! The industrial and financial heart of Italy is beyond alluring and rich in culture and art, industrial design, fashion, and architecture. Sultry, sexy, deeply intoxicating. Start the day with a dark espresso in an aromatic and lively café. Enjoy a lingering and delicious lunch in between shopping, gallery, and museum visits. Begin La Sera with aperitivi and an addictive Negroni, or two. Feast your eyes on Art Deco interiors, richly colored in mahogany and ochre. End your day with a brilliant opera at La Scala. Celebrate life, Northern Italian style.

The first night and first visit to Italy for Gary and Vicki Glant was in September of 1976 in Milano. A late dinner that first day ever in Italia was at a famed restaurant named El Toulà where the wood paneled, art-filled, interior was only exceeded by the gracious service and beautiful Milanese clientele. Vicki and Gary were seated near a table of exquisitely dressed and glamorous young Milanese who were celebrating a special occasion and who shared their elaborate and impressive Gateau Saint Honore (a tower of profiteroles and tall thin candles) with them. It was at this first dinner that Vicki and Gary decided that they wanted to make a life in Italy. It was just that simple and spontaneous.

The next day Gary met with the principals of Texital, one of Italy’s leading high end textile mills, located in Bergamo, a Medieval walled city, forty miles to the Northeast of Milano in the foothills of the Alps in the Lake Country. Here began a collaboration that evolved twenty years later with Glant buying Texital and to this day this high-end producer of some of Italy’s leading furnishing textiles is owned by the Glant family.

Adam Glant was born in 1983 and has lived his entire life with Bergamo and Milano in his DNA having gone to school in Bergamo and having practiced law in Milano. It’s a family affair.

GLANT AUTUMN 2023: THE MILANO COLLECTION is a tribute and handsome reflection of Italy’s style capital. Exceptional locales of SAN BABILA, PIAZZA DELLA SCALA and VIA BORGONUOVO have inspired textile creation while moody and stimulating colorations have informed a palette that highlights and evokes the emotion and love felt for one of the greatest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world: MILANO.
