Having cut his teeth designing interiors for Parisian boutique hotels, high-speed trains and even cinemas, Christian Lacroix is taking things up a notch with his next makeover project: a residential tower in a Dubai's Jumeirah suburb. The designer is partnering with Middle Eastern property developer Abyaar for the venture, which will see him create the façade, lobby and luxury interiors of the 38-unit beachside property."We approached Lacroix because he is known for his exceptional design skills and theatrical style, both on and off the catwalk," says Abyaar's vice-chairman and managing director, Marzooq Al Rashdan. "This is the start of a long-term partnership that places Abyaar on the luxury development map internationally." Lacroix, meanwhile, is all about the details. "We are working on something special that will tell a Middle Eastern story," he revealed to WGSN. "The interiors will be based on paradox - contemporary and baroque, blending East and West, old and new, inspired by history and folklore."
