Reaching from Istanbul to Atlantic City, from Singapore to Bethesda, we have cast a wide net this year to ﬁll our annual People Issue. Last year we concentrated on family matters, zeroing in on industry folk who work with those near and dear. In 2010, the theme was notable women as we shone a light on the hugely signiﬁcant (and often surprisingly unrecognized) achievements in hospitality they have made. This year the theme is innovation, as we pinpoint designers, hoteliers, and restaurateurs, all of whom have embarked on projects that we are certain will be noted and admired throughout the industry. Some big brands here—Marriott, Morgans, and Four Seasons, for example—but also a few less recognizable names that we delight in discovering and introducing to you. Zeynep Fadillioglu is a prime example: The founder of ZF Design in Istanbul, she is well-known in the design community of Turkey, but less so here in the U.S., yet her impeccable credentials and striking aesthetic will likely raise her international proﬁle before too long. (She also provided us, as you’ve seen, with an arresting cover image!) Looking ahead, we hope to see you in South Beach on September 11-12th for HD Boutique. I’ll be conducting an onstage interview with Alexandra Champalimaud, and that’s just one of the many great Photo by Clodagh sessions planned for the conference component. Go to www.hdboutique.com for details. At the same time, we’ll be introducing a new look for Hospitality Design. The redesign of the magazine— the ﬁrst in a decade—will be launched at the show, and we’re thrilled that our attendees will be among the ﬁrst to see it. And for the October issue, we are pleased to announce that Clodagh will be our guest editor. The veteran designer, who has triumphed in her work in hotels, restaurants, and spas—not to mention product design and fashion—brings her distinctive style to everything she touches, and we expect nothing less when she oversees Hospitality Design. Enjoy the issue.
