Hidden Trails — Legendary Art and Design Dealer Nina Yashar's Insider Guide to Exploring Milan

What better way to see the world than through the eyes of our favorite tastemakers? In Hidden Trails, we look at the places that feel most like home to our community of design insiders — wherever those might be — to help you uncover what their cities have in store for you.

If there's one thing I have learned in my recent email exchange with Iranian-Italian design trailblazer Nina Yashar, it's that, while you can take her out of Milan, you can't take Milan out of her. Having moved there with her family at the age of six from Tehran where she was born, the city "has been an essential part of my personal and professional journey ever since," Yashar tells me. "Milan has provided me with the perfect setting to cultivate my passion for design and art, shaping the growth of my gallery, Nilufar, from its very opening on Via Bigli in 1979 to the international projects we are now running."
