NYC—Designer Visions, Hearst Magazines' version of an annual "showhouse," has announced this year's lineup: David Rockwell will design House Beautiful's room, Antony Todd, Veranda's, and Matthew Patrick Smyth, Elle Decor's. (This year Elle Decor, Hearst's newest shelter title, replaces Designer Visions veteran Town & Country.) Additional intel: the publisher will partner with the 48 Hour Film Project—"the completed apartments will be used as actual sets for short films." No word yet about where this all will happen—last year's Designer Visions took place in an S. Russell Groves-renovated building overlooking Central Park. [CurbedWire Inbox; previously]
