at the Claridge

With Oscar weekend behind me, I go to London to begin my new project… designing a dozen rooms at Claridge’s. Claridge’s is my favorite hotel in the world, so I am honored they thought of me, and I know I will make the most glamorous hotel rooms in the world!

Straight from the plane I go to their warehouse to pick and choose some of their vintage furniture. I find some good sofas and a few art deco desks…it is very important for me to preserve the heritage of Claridge’s, its glamour and elegance but make it relevant for today. I spend the next few days with my team, and our ideas become clearer every day!! I also manage to squeeze in some time to go to the theatre and see On the Waterfront and have supper at The Wolseley.

Diane goes Purple!

We’re feeling Purple this afternoon…as in the latest issue of Purple Fashion Magazine with Diane on the cover (in Martin Margiela). The Spring Summer 2009 issue is available at DVF.com and at our DVF shops in New York, Los Angeles, Bal Harbour, Paris and London. Here’s what Diane had to say about the leggy shoot…

“How embarassing at my age to be in fishnet stockings on the cover of a hip young magazine? I was seduced into a day with Terry Richardson, it was a lot of fun!”

Buy Purple…

Flaunt your legs in the Reema dress…
