Near the lively cobbled market streets of the Navigli canal lies Wok, the brainchild of Federica Zambon and Simona Citarella.

Regular hot news and collaborations, such as the partnership with quirky London-based gallery Jaguar Shoes, ensures that Wok is the number one destination for a variety of high-end fashion as well as unique, carefully bought artwork.
