Imagine a Middle East as your next fun-filled holiday destination....a place where you can relax and have a good time without having to worry about getting your head chopped off for no apparent reason.....a place where you can visit a museum or two if you're looking to quench your thirst for cultural enrichment....or go on an exciting fun-filled adventure with or without a tour guide.....or a place where you can enjoy the exotic nightlife, spice up your tasting buds with fine dining and enjoy a few cocktails the way the locals do...and hey why not, maybe even a place to hang out at a ski resort and play with "real" snow....or a place to hunt for good deals at stuffy bazaars in designer fashions and shop till you drop on "Fashion Island"....
Mr. Lagerfeld signed an exclusive deal with Dubai Infinity Holdings to design 80 homes in what aims to be the most fashionable address in the world, the man-made Isla Moda ("Fashion Island") in Dubai. The development will include a mix of penthouse apartments and two- to four-bedroom homes.
"We cater to a very exclusive clientele who are highly fashion conscious," said a spokeswoman for Dubai Infinity Holdings, which is owned by a group of local, private investors. The company launched in December 2007; Isla Moda is its first project.
