Zahia Dehar previously made headlines for sleeping with a handful of French footballers (reportedly for £2,000 a night) when she was working as a prostitute in 2010, and although prostitution is legal in France, you must be over 18, which she wasn't at the time. Now, Zahia has resurfaced and is planning to launch a line of couture lingerie which is expected to land at the upcoming couture fashion week in Paris. Speaking on her upcoming projects, last year Zahia said in an interview:
"The French press says a lot of things about me. [Laughs] It’s still a bit too early for me to talk about my plans. Let’s just say that what I’ve been imagining for years is coming to life."
It turns out that Karl Lagerfeld has teamed up with the model to shoot the first lookbook of the lingerie line, which will be given to those in attendance at the unveiling. Lagerfeld says that the photos produced are “very, very funny, like Vargas pinups. It was fun to do her.” He describes Zahia as “very French courtesan, like Diane de Poitiers or the Belle Otéro.”While he distances himself from the designs by adding: “I have nothing to do with her collection.” Below is Zahia's V Spain cover which is from the Spring 2011 issue.
