Bijan Pakzad Fashion Designer Dies of Stroke

Bijan PakzadAt the end of last year we reported that famed Iranian-American designer of world’s “most expensive” fashion items Bijan Pakzad teamed up with Rolls-Royce delivering a limited series of unique Rolls-Royce Phantom’s carrying Bijan’s design language.

Bijan would create the designs and the craftsmen at Goodwood will bring his ideas into reality. The models will be delivered in the spring of 2011, but Bijan will never see them for real. Bijan Pakzad died on the 16th of April 2011 due to a serious stroke at the age of 67.

He was known because of his exclusive boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, established in 1976 and only to be visited by appointment. It has been described as “the most expensive store in the world”.

Bijan was known not only for his shop but also for his exquisite car collection, including a yellow Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe and yellow Bugatti Veyron which he parked outside his Rodeo Drive Boutique.
