Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld’s 9 month old kitten, is definitely having her 15 minutes right now thanks to Lagerfeld’s glowing praise in a WWD interview yesterday and the subsequent creation of a Twitter account devoted to the “famous beauty.” We even got an exclusive interview with her yesterday. Sadly, though, photographs of the Siamese kitten are Read more →
Well, that was fast. But not at all surprising for the world’s most technologically savvy cat. While we’re kicking ourselves for not thinking of it first, we’re glad that one very important celebrity pet is now on Twitter: Karl Lagerfeld’s 9 month old kitten Choupette (who tweets under the handle Choupette’s Diary). Just hours after we learned of Choupette’s lavish life replete with multiple maids who record her every move in diaries, dining at tables, and using iPads, she’s been given a platform to regale us with frequent updates on her day and interact with her fans.
Choupette’s first tweet was only a few hours ago and since then she’s been averaging a tweet every couple of minutes and has amassed 774 followers, though we’re sure that number will increase rapidly. Since we all desperately need more information about Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, we reached out to her on Twitter and, despite her busy schedule of eating, napping and, now, tweeting, she agreed to answer some questions. Read on for Choupette’s thoughts on being abandoned by Baptiste Giabiconi, her two maids, the recent trend of morbidly obese felines and much more.
If you thought Karl Lagerfeld’s adorable 9 month old kitten Choupette was just your average household pet, lying around idly and eating out of dishes on the floor, then you don’t know very much about Karl Lagerfeld.
In perhaps one of his best interviews to date, Lagerfeld finally reveals, to WWD, what we knew all along–that beneath that tough, German exterior lies a cat lover.
Tired of seeing skinny human model after skinny human model in fashion magazines and ad campaigns? Well, back in 2010, United Bamboo started doing their part to bring more diversity to modeling with their first ever, groundbreaking Cat Calendar, in which real cats modeled the label’s fall 2010 collection tailored to fit their fabulously unique Read more →
Best Coast, aka Bethany Cosentino’s incredibly catchy, ’60s girl group-esque, dreamy pop song-filled, essentially perfect debut album Crazy For You was all I (and a lot of people) listened to during the summer of 2010 (and songs from her forthcoming album The Only Place, which you can stream on NPR right now, are already stuck Read more →
Well, our day is off to the best start imaginable. It’s all downhill from here. This morning, Karl Lagerfeld tweeted the above photograph of his adorable little baby kitty Choupette relaxing in what appears to be a bed, playing with an iPad. Ahhh. To make things even cuter, the photo is accompanied by the caption Read more →
Nick Knight is doing his first ever Instagram photoshoot over at his site SHOWStudio and it awesomely involves kittens and couture (if this is the future of high fashion photography, we like…a lot). According to the site the shoot is “inspired by Internet memes, animal GIFs and Autumn/Winter 2012′s taste for grown-up, blown-up overdressing.” Does Read more →
Last night Ferragamo celebrated the launch of their new fragrance, Signorina, with a celeb-filled bash at Julian Schnabel’s glorious pink Palazzo Chupi (his daughter Stella also happened to be one of the hosts of the party). The Richards sisters, Kate Mara, AnnaSophia Robb (the newly cast young Carrie Bradshaw), Courtney Love, Emma Roberts, and fashion-y Read more →
As any avid reader of this site should know by now, we really like cats. And luckily, so does the fashion industry as a whole, it seems, because fashion and cats have come together so many times that we actually have a category devoted to this union. Unfortunately, they just don’t put enough cats into ad campaigns, so sometimes, like one other time, we have to do it for them.
In honor of the first day of spring, we present 12 spring ad campaigns improved by cats. Click through to enjoy.
Happy spring!
We already know there are cat fashion bloggers; so it follows of course that there would also be cat fashion designers.
A few days ago, a friend of mine (who obviously knows me really well) linked me to an Etsy shop called CatAtelier, which, naturally, sells a delightful assortment of carefully crafted ties, neckpieces and hats for felines. Both the quality of these designs and the fact that this existed completely blew my mind and I had to know more. So, I reached out to the obviously talented designer for an interview and she obliged. It turns out Julie Song went to Parsons and has a BFA in illustration as well as a very obedient cat. Click through to see her amazing designs and learn more about who she is, how and why she got into feline fashion design, and her plans to branch out into cat clothes!
If we keep talking about how much we like cats in fashion, will it keep happening? Hope so. This Jason Wu for Target commercial stars Wu’s muse, the cartoon cat Milu. As you can see, the beribboned kitty is more than just the star of the commercial (and this massive billboard in TriBeCa), he’s also Read more →
Looks like Karl Lagerfeld could have a new muse! The designer shared this photo of his new cat with V Magazine’s Stephen Gan, who tweeted it, adding “Hello Kitties @LadyGaga @formichetti! Karl’s Lagerfeld‘s sunday night photo: meet Choupette, his new kitten. -SG.” Aw. Don’t you just want to snuggle her? Cross your fingers that this Read more →
