An insight into one of the most famous (and wealthiest) cats in the world 🐱
"It took time for her to get used to the camera," Karl Lagerfeld explains of the above averagely photogenic Choupette when we meet in March."Normally cats don’t like it and run away. She doesn’t like to be photographed at all." Nonetheless, in fashion circles Choupette enjoys superstar status, having appeared in editorials everywhere from V Magazine to British Harper’s Bazaar. Still, she’s something of a feline Garbo.
"She did Opal, like Claudia Schiffer, in Germany. After the campaign came out, they sold 10,000 cars in two weeks" – Karl Lagerfeld "She did Opal, like Claudia Schiffer, in Germany," M Lagerfeld says."After the campaign came out, they sold 10,000 cars in two weeks. And she was paid a fortune for that." Two million euros allegedly, which just goes to show that a) her owner is one hell of an agent and b) playing hard to get pays off."No, no, I didn't want her to do it you see," Lagerfeld confirms.
"Choupette did a campaign in Japan for Shu Uemura too," her proud owner continues. The couturier prefers to draw with the cosmetic company’s eye shadows than any other materials, finding their colours the most beautiful and, last year, Choupette inspired her own cosmetics line – the neatly entitled ‘Shu-Pette’."Because, you know, with the little Japanese girls she’s a huge success," Lagerfeld says.
It’s a cat’s life. Still:"I put all of that money in a special account so, if anything happens to me, the person who takes care of her gets it all. In fact, Choupette is an heiress," Lagerfeld adds.
