Who: Moschino What The Milanese fashion line is staying close to home with its first hotel, a 72-room property launching in Milan's fashionable Corso Como district late next year. Creative director Rossella Jardini is overseeing the project, along with a new interiors line pegged to the opening.
Who: Versace What The supersexy brand already has one over-the-top hotel, the opulent Palazzo Versace on Australia's Gold Coast, and is currently constructing another in Dubai, slated to open in 2009. Expect 215 rooms overflowing with gold and marble; a man-made, temperature-controlled beach; even a recording studio for Donatella's musician friends—like Mariah, J.Lo, and Elton John.
Who: Armani What Having made a splash in the world of interiors with Armani Casa, the arbiter of Italian style is now turning his hand to the world of hotels with the opening of his first property in Dubai next year, set in the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building. Armani is personally overseeing all of the hotel's design elements, including its 140 rooms, its restaurants, and the spa, as well as outfitting 144 condos. At least 10 more properties are planned, in such cities as Milan, London, and New York.
Who: Missoni What Known for its striking patterns and colors, Missoni recently announced plans to develop more than 30 outposts in partnership with megabuilder Rezidor SAS. Starting with the Kuwait City opening in mid-2008, each Hotel Missoni will be designed by Italian architect Matteo Thun, and will showcase the fashion house's signature look. Next up: Edinburgh, then Dubai.
