7 Most Fabulous Hotels & Suites Designed By Fashion Designers

For accomplished fashion designers, it’d almost be a travesty to limit their talent and design aesthetics to clothes and accessories.While beauty and makeup would be deemed a natural extension for fashion labels, many have diversified and explored other avenues such as home furnishings, makeup, interiors and even movies! Tom Ford directs movies, Rohit Bal has designed homes, and many many of them have designed hotels, resorts, and suites. Here are some of our favourite #FTW designer hotels and suites –

Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s Cinema Suite, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate

One of India’s most recognised designers Sabyasachi Mukherjee designed the Cinema suite at Taj 51 Buckingham Gate. Inspired by the era of the 1940s and 1950s Hollywood and Indian Cinema, the suite is full of Ray, Coppola, Majidi, Almodovar and Bergman references. One bedroom is reminiscent of the golden Hollywood era of Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe whilst the other draws on colonial inspiration and renowned Indian artists Guru Dutt, Merchant Ivory and Bimal Roy.

Elsa Schiaparelli suites at Mayfair

Elsa Schiaparelli is often known as a designer who first unleashed fuchsia pink on the fashion world. Hence, it’s no surprise that the Schiaparelli Suite at London’s iconic Mayfair hotel is a loving tribute to bold pink, retro glamour, and the fun side of style. The elaborate details in the suite include a padded fuchsia chaise, antique Chinese art, integrated open fire, egg bath and an illuminated shower. You heard that right!

Maison Moschino, Milan

Moschino never does normal or even boring. So obviously their hotel had to stand apart. Right from the location (it’s housed in a neo-classical railway station) to whimsical interiors, everything has a touch of quirk to it. Although the hotel has been repeatedly called out for “form over function” design layout, read really small rooms and smaller bathrooms, it’s still a great pick to give your heart and eyes some joy!
