Karl Lagerfeld's Fashion Island

Adding interior design to his already encyclopedia-thick resume, Karl Lagerfeld has been commissioned to create an array of Chanel-brand dwellings on Dubai's Isla Moda (yes, that's right, Fashion Island). Due for completion in 2012, Isla Moda is part of a man-made archipelago entitled "The World" that features couture-themed lodgings and top-line boutiques. Four additional designers will join Lagerfeld on the project, which is backed by Dubai Infinity Holdings. Like any runway-ready fashion line, the Isla Moda villas will be presented in seasonal installments starting with the "winter collection" set for sale in late 2008. But don't pack your bathing suit just yet: This luxury destination is by strict invite only--leaving us jonesing to be shipwrecked.
