+Fashion Week energy while hotel rates are still winter-low.
–Damp, cold weather and Fashion Week dates squeeze availability.
Milan Fashion Week brings energy and creative buzz. Still relatively uncrowded compared to other cities' fashion weeks. Excellent prices for luxury hotels.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
