LAHORE – Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette was loved by him just as much as cat lovers love their feline. Infact, maybe even more, clearly.
She is also the hero of a book, Choupette: The Private Life of a High-Flying Fashion Cat.
And the latest is that she could be inheriting his fortune!
Iconic fashion designer Karl died in Paris following a short illness on Tuesday (yesterday). The German designer, who was the creative director for Chanel and Fendi, was one of the industry’s most prolific figures and worked up until his death. His signature ponytail and dark glasses made him an instantly recognizable figure around the world.
“She is like a human being, only with an extra quality – silence,” Lagerfeld quipped.
“Choupette is the centre of my world”.
“She has something unforgettable in the way she moves – I’m inspired by her elegance and her attitude,” he said.
French actor and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot wrote her a letter in 2015 asking her to “purr in the ear” of her owner so he would “stop using fur in his collections”.
