together with the moschino creative team & designer rossella jardini, stefano ugolini of hotelphilosphy have created the whimsically chic hotel, maison moschino. the hotel is located in the heart of milan and has 63 guestrooms & 2 junior suites. the rooms, with names like 'little red riding hood', 'clouds' and 'sleeping in a ballgown' offer guests a surreal hotel experience. the 19th century neoclassical facade reveals nothing unusual until guests step inside. the hotel's restaurant 'clandestino milano' has small lights in the ceilings to look like clouds & a bar light that was created from a stiletto boot. headed by italian chef moreno cedroni, the restaurant offers 'colourful sushi' creations that include a palate cleansing concoction of sake & mint. for breakfast there is the 'mos kit' that is served in a shoe box-like tray. room rates start at 270 euros.
trash by travelteq is designed for men but i want one! the bag is hand crafted from florentine vachetta leather and comes in cognac & black with linings in four different colors. inside are spaces for your 15" laptop, your phone, & your cigar tube (but of course). outside there are four small compartments for business cards, boarding passes and sunglasses. a 17" bag, cabin trolley and smaller leather goods are on the horizon. the company is in amsterdam but will ship to the u.s. for free! trash runs about $500...not bad for such a beautiful bag. i really want the cognac with khaki lining.
