Diane von Furstenberg�s signature style and flair will be the talk of London in June 2010 as the designer and Claridge�s unveil her first interior design project with a series of rooms and suites. Claridge�s, the Art Deco jewel in Mayfair, has always been at the forefront of design and Diane von Furstenberg, a longtime guest and friend of the hotel, will bring her iconic prints and bold colours as well as original pieces of furniture to the legendary landmark. Claridge�s and Diane von Furstenberg have enjoyed an intimate relationship since the 1970�s and some of her past collections have even been inspired by the renowned hotel. �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 glamourous hotel in the world; I regard it as my home away from home,� commented Diane von Furstenberg. �I am honoured to become part of the hotel�s legacy and rich design history.�

�For more than a century, Claridge�s has stood as an emblem of timeless glamour,� commented Stephen Alden, CEO Maybourne Hotel Group. �Our collaboration with the talented Diane von Furstenberg is the latest storyline within our history of forward-thinking design. Diane�s personal love and passion for Claridge�s provides a unique perspective which she will draw upon in executing her creative vision.�
