Dubai has finally overcome its modest approach to living with plans for a fashion island or 'Isla Moda' as it will be known, by hiring Karl Lagerfeld to design 80 residential homes.
The man behind Chanel has high hopes for his influence on the project, saying, "Dubai is a fashion bud on the verge of blossoming into the next fashion hub of the world. Isla Moda has tremendous potential to be the style icon of the future and I intend on driving the island to high style stardom."
The first of five designers handpicked to take on the role of Mr. Brady, Lagerfeld's contribution will include a "limited edition line." In case houses in the land of the ludicrously wealthy designed by arguably the world's greatest living fashion designer wasn't already exclusive enough.
With the blazing temperatures and all the water about, I wonder if Karl will be tempted to revive his sizzling 1970 beach look? (You should see the full shot. I'd have shown it but I didn't know if you could handle the sexy.)
