Karl And A Bottle of Dom

(NEW YORK) Until now, there's only been a streetcar named desire. That's all changing with Karl Lagerfeld, who's designed a bottle of Dom Pérignon and dubbed it A Bottle Named Desire. Each of the limited-edition, individually numbered pieces-which feature gold studs in homage to the bubbles contained within-is packaged in a jeweled case that bears Lagerfeld's signature. At $2,500 a pop, it's likely to burst your bubble, if not your bank account.

Lagerfeld was previously tapped by Dom Pérignon to photograph the company's ising campaign for the Vintage 1998, featuring Helena Christensen. A book of images from the campaign called 7 Fantasmes of a Woman followed.

This isn't the bubbly company's first collaboration with a cultural luminary either. Marc Newson created a limited edition piece for Dom Pérignon some years ago in the form of a green, bottle-shaped ice bucket that the company has will reintroduce to the market, possibly in late May.
