DVF re-designs Claridge's

And she has been handed the keys to a series of rooms at Claridge's (no less) to experiment on with her first design project.

Von Furstenberg has been a guest at the Mayfair hotel when visiting London for thirty years and her catwalk collections have even been inspired by the hotel's design. "One of my fondest memories was when I was in London as a young, independent businesswoman and stayed at Claridge's. I knew I had made it. To me, Claridge's is the most glamorous hotel in the world; I regard it as my home from home".

This will ring even more true after her collaboration of iconic prints and bold colours will be unveiled on furnishings and walls from June...
