Choupette Lagerfeld Shares German Vogue Cover With Linda Evangelista

Karl Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette, is back, this time on the July cover of German Vogue alongside supermodel Linda Evangelista. The striking black and white cover was shot by Lagerfeld himself, and is not the feline's first foray into print. At barely two years old, Choupette, arguably the most famous cat in fashion, has already conquered the pages of V, Vanity Fair, and i-D, among others.

The pampered puss, who is notorious for living a lavish style which includes private jets, personal maids, and her own iPad (from which she presumably runs her popular Twitter account), recently made headlines after the designer expressed interest in turning her into his furry bride. 

“There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals," the Chanel mastermind told CNN's Alina Cho. "I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat.”

Karl Lagerfeld's Cat Lives A Lavish Lifestyle That Most Of Us Can Only Dream About

Choupette

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld recently had a heart-to-heart with WWD about his main interests beyond fashion design and dieting. It turns out that the Chanel impresario is more of a crazy cat person than the rest of us, as he revealed while talking about the unusual relationship he shares with his kitten, Choupette:

"She is a famous beauty. She is nine months old. Baptiste gave her to me for Christmas to watch for two weeks when he was away but then I refused to give her back. I thought she was too cute. She is like a kept woman. She has a strong personality. She has lunch and dinner with me on the table, with her own food. She doesn’t touch my food. She doesn’t want to eat on the floor. She sleeps under a pillow and she even knows how to use an iPad. She has two personal maids, for both night and day. She is beyond spoiled."

In addition to Choupette's kept ways, it appears that Lagerfeld has also taken on the peculiar habit of documenting every whisker of the kitten's existence. Not content to record cat videos to track her antics, Choupette's maids (Note to self: become a paid cat maid) keep a daily diary, obsessively creating an everlasting record devoted to the details of her luxurious life.

"We do keep a diary," he admits. "When I am not there, the maids take down, in little books, everything she did, from what she ate, to how she behaved, if she was tired, and if she wasn’t sleeping. In the nine months, we already have almost 600 pages. Colette had written a lot about cats. I am not Colette, but I think it could be funny to make a little book of Choupette’s diary."

Naturally, less than twenty four hours after this story broke, Choupette has already taken paw to iPad, and started a Twitter account of her own. As of this writing, @ChoupettesDiary has already amassed over 1,500 followers, including influencers like Nicky Hilton and V Magazine.

When asked by Fashionista if she was interested in joining any other social media platforms in the future, the pampered puss replied, "Between napping, chasing invisible air particles, and feedings I have little time for such trivial activities." She also refused to comment on the latest trend of severely obese felines, reasoning, "I am part of the fashion community–how do you expect me to answer such a question."

In case you were wondering if Lagerfeld had any plans to translate his ailurophilia into a line of cat clothing, he doesn't. "No, I don’t like animals in human clothes," he says. "I think that’s very circuslike.” While he doesn't advocate dressing up his feline models in clothing, I wouldn't be surprised to see his human ones strutting down the catwalk in Choupette-inspired fashions in the future!

Karl Lagerfeld Got A Kitten

"Hello Kitties @LadyGaga @formichetti! Karl Lagerfeld's Sunday night photo: Meet Choupette, his new kitten."

I tend to think of Karl Lagerfeld as someone who would eat kittens as opposed to adopting one, but color me surprised, because Styleite is reporting that the legendary fashion designer tweeted (by way of @VMagazine) this delightful picture of his new kitten, Choupette, delivering her most camera ready pose.

Congratulations (and my apologies) go out to Lagerfeld on his furry new addition. Hopefully little Choupette will usher in a new era of fabulous feline-inspired fashions from Chanel!
