Creativity is the art of dreaming with your eyes wide open, a vision of make believe that dances around your thoughts as you fantasize & allow ideas to play in the dark labyrinths of your mind. And so fashion designers are one by one tapping into their secret mental world to take a break from designing clothes, and moving toward hotels.
From Bali to Dubai & from Edinburgh to South Africa, these “couture” behemoths of hospitality keep multiplying as designers race to leave their signatures across international cities. Fashion design is no longer confined to fabric, instead it’s corporate branding gone large… World domination has become world destination. Touché. | Giuseppe
“Design is an opportunity to continue telling the story, not just to sum everything up.”
