Around the World: Maison Moschino

It is not uncommon to see fashion designers jump from one project to another. 
I am not just saying clothes wise, I am saying projects you would not imagine having a fashion designer behind the idea. They have sketched buildings, furniture, bicycles, food, etc., so it comes with no surprise that they have entered the hospitality business as well. Armani, Missoni, Oscar de la Renta, Versace, Christian Lacroix, Ralph Lauren, and Moschino are the ones that have successfully made the transition.

Today, we are taking a look into the creation of Maison Moschino. 
This boutique hotel was converted from a 19th century neo-classical railway house in the center of Milan. The interesting thing to take notice in this project is how playfull and whimsical it is. Every time I look at it I am amazed how the designers were able to stay true to the brand and to its vision without being cliché. Every corner has a surprise that intrigues the guest with humor and fashion forward ideas…just look at the pictures to see what I mean.

Would you sleep here?


Can you imagine spending the night at an old jail house?
In the Netherlands, a group of entrepreneurs had the idea of buying an abandoned jail house and transforming it in a glamorous hotel. 
The architects were able to adapt thirty six suites, one bar, and one restaurant at the old building that maintained its character and odd features. 
Take a look:
