PARIS — Karl Lagerfeld, famous for his multi-tasking, is putting on the decorator’s hat.
The Chanel couturier has signed a deal with Dubai Infinity Holdings, or DIH, to conceive “limited-edition” interiors for residences on Dubai’s Isla Moda, an island dedicated to fashion that figures in the city’s ambitious “The World” project, a man-made archipelago that will form the pattern of the earth’s continents as viewed from above.
“The metamorphosis of art and beauty is my passion,” Lagerfeld said on Tuesday. “The discovery of contemporary mediums of expression has allowed me to pursue my interest in art, beauty, architecture and progressive cultural exchange. Dubai is a fashion bud on the verge of blossoming into the next fashion hub of the world. The city is alive with culture and rich in personality, making a perfect place for aesthetic, fashion and design to flourish.”
DIH, a Dubai-based diversified investment company, said four other as yet unnamed artists would be hired to bring their “personal touch” to Isla Moda.
