FASHION DESIGNER HOTELS
HOW FASHION INFLUENCES INTERIOR DESIGN
There have been collaborations between fashion designers and
luxury hotels, from Karl Lagerfeld’s Odyssey in Monaco to Ver-
sace’s daring Dubai bolthole. Concerning recent hotels, let’s start
by Palazzo Versace Dubai Hotel, which is near to become one of
the most luxurious hotels in the Middle East and features interiors
It is well known that fashion captivates other spheres of similar areas, and design is the most
directly influenced thematic. In a world full of fashion tips, the task of incorporating them

Still in Dubai, we were surprised by the Armani Hotel - also lo-
cated in Milan. It aims to provide the same kind of welcoming
guests as fashion designer Giorgio Armani would privately ex-
tend to family and friends, with a luxury accent. Everything here

each decoration element, with Eramosa stone floors, zebrawood
panels, and custom-made furnishings, providing an eclectic de-
sign full of refinement. It’s interesting to note that fashion isn’t

hotel. Situated at Burj Khalifa—world’s tallest tower—in Down-
town Dubai, it gives access to the city’s best fashion shops,
trendy restaurants and cultural attractions, turning it in a totally
worthy spotlight.
