For true style mavens, there’s no need to stop at simply wearing decadent designer duds when you can live, breathe, eat, and sleep them, too, quite literally, at one of these deluxe designer hotels. Bearing the high-fashion fingerprints of their high-profile designers (from Lagerfeld to Lauren to Lacroix), fashion-branded properties have become the mode du jour, providing their creators a way to more firmly establish their luxury-lifestyle brands (many already have their hands in everything from home furnishing to beauty product lines). These fortresses of fashion have been derived by either a co-branded, new-concept partnership between the designer and an established hotel brand, or via the redesign of an existing property under their creative control. Of all of the options currently on the rack, we found these 10 runway-ready designer hotels to be the best fit, marrying style and sophistication with extraordinary taste and design sensibility – they’re guaranteed to have a shelf life that will easily outlast yesterday’s catwalk collection.
