Karl Lagerfeld to Design Homes on Dubai’s Fashion Island

"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," he added.
That "tremendous potential" includes a "style concierge" available to residents of Isla Moda for clothes, fragrances, and makeovers (there's also a design one to help you with your home-furnishing and decorating needs). If you can't afford one of Lagerfeld's houses, Isla Moda will also include a hotel with 250 rooms and serviced apartments. And here we thought retiring in California sounded like a nice idea.
Dubai Infinity Holdings is developing the project in line with its "mandate to fulfill unmet market needs." We don't know about you, but we sure can't think of an unmet market need that needed more fulfilling.
