Ostello della Moda Fiorentina: A Florentine Hostel

Florence, Italy, as one of the world’s rising fashion capitals, attracts designers, artists, and stylists from all over the globe. While the city has a vibrant fashion culture, there is no current space for locals and tourists to spend the night and gather around a shared love for fashion. This hostel fills this void, providing a common space where fashion enthusiasts can stay and grow their love of design.

Throughout the seasons of time, Italian style has evolved in cycles, incorporating past influence from the Renaissance and combining it with modern design. Cyclical integration is the parti and architectural foundation of this hostel. Guests will be able to feel the evolution around them as callouts to their favorite design houses are showcased throughout the space
