The 11-year-old cat, revered by her late master Karl Lagerfeld, is coming out of retirement to return to the spotlight.
Karl Lagerfeld’s Burmese cat, Schuette, hasn’t shown the tip of his snout in a long time. A white kitten with sapphire blue eyes has left its cozy nest to appear in the pages of an American publication. fashion, an issue that pays tribute to the designer who died in 2019. And there, no complicated posture, stretched silhouette or arrogant head carriage. The animal, aged 11 but still sporting the same thick coat, appears sprawled out, legs in the air, in the arms of Naomi Campbell, who is wearing a black Balmain trouser suit for the occasion. The photo was taken by celebrity portraitist Annie Leibovitz on the Alexandre III bridge in Paris.
One and a half million euros
Choupette is not the first attempt. She has already appeared on the cover of several international publications fashion, notably alongside Linda Evangelista and Gisele Bundchen. And also shot with Karl Lagerfeld in 2013 for the UK edition Harper’s Bazaar. the latter appeared with cat ears, giving rise to a fabulous photo. After the death of his illustrious master, the kitty cat slowed down, taking up residence in a new residence on the Ile-de-France in the company of Françoise Cassote. Karl Lagerfeld’s faithful manager was indeed appointed to take care of the “respected cat” and received a sum of one and a half million euros for her services. The amount has not yet been calculated due to complicated succession. But Schuette seems far from these administrative concerns and is resuming the media service. The next appearance. On the occasion of the Met Gala on May 1, 2023, which this year pays tribute to Karl Lagerfeld. To which he will go in his finest coat.
