Once upon a time (2010) in a land far away Zahia Dehar was a teenage prostitute embroiled in a scandal involving three French footballers who were alleged to have illegally paid the underage girl for sex.
Fast forward to 2012, and Zahia has entirely transformed her fortunes.
Trading on her notoriety as a sex symbol, Zahia Dehar reinvented herself as a lingerie designer, showing her first collection on the Paris catwalks in January earlier this year.
And last night, her status as a recognised figure in the fashion industry was cemented as the blonde former courtesan showcased her second collection of lingerie at Paris Couture Week.

Zahia, who modelled some of her designs herself at last night's show, appeared as a stylised Barbie doll to open the event before a stream of models took to the runway wearing a succession of ever more risque lingerie.

Entranced by her beauty, and the romantic notion of the history of the French courtesan he said she represented, a charmed Karl Lagerfeld photographed her debut look book himself!!!
With this ultimate seal of approval, the rest, as they say, is history. Zahia Dehar's metamorphosis from courtesan to catwalk queen of lingerie was complete.

I don't care what her background was, these garments are beautiful creations and I want them all!
And they all lived happily ever after...
