It’s no secret we’re obsessed with all things Choupette, the pretty kitty of Karl Lagerfeld. But could we soon be seeing a Choupette bag sold at Chanel? According to a tweet from Cathy Horyn, this is happening.

We spend a lot of time on the Internet here at Fashionista, which usually means that we stumble across some crazy pictures, videos and other budding memes. Seeing as we’re a site devoted to fashion news, there are few things we like more than viral content pertaining to fashion industry figures and events (cats, too).
We’ve rounded up 10 of the funniest, most relevant and wildly viral fashion-related memes for your enjoyment–from toothy grins on notoriously stern faces to trend-bashing and general mockery.
Happy Friday!
Burberry is being sued by the estate of Humphrey Bogart after they used an iconic image of the actor wearing a trenchcoat from the film Casablanca.

Lots of celebrities live in New York so it’s not unusual to spot one on the street. And when you do spot one, being a New Yorker and being super cool and jaded, you pretend you don’t care or notice and then quietly freak out to your friends over text, ‘OMG Pat Kiernan was in Read more →

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 →
When Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld are behind an event, everyone in fashion shows up looking as effortlessly chic as possible. And that’s exactly what happened at last night’s New York opening of “The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld.” Neither rain nor the treacherous cobblestones outside of 18 Wooster Street, where the exhibit is located, could stop celebs like Mad Men‘s Jessica Paré (who seems to be fashion’s favorite new celeb), Lily Collins and Pharrell Williams; too many models to count (but including Joan Smalls, Crystal Renn, and Dree Hemingway); and of course, Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld from turning out.
The exhibit, which already touched down in Tokyo, features photos from the book of the same name, in which Carine Roitfeld styled and Karl Lagerfeld photographed models, muses and celebrities wearing Chanel’s iconic little black jacket. For the New York exhibit, the photos (113 of them) are displayed in black and white covering one enormous wall, and blown up in color on the opposite one. So basically everywhere you turn, there’s a compelling, gorgeous photograph of some beautiful famous person wearing a Chanel jacket in way you never expected. It’s impossible not to play pick your favorite (Uma Thurman, Anna Wintour, and Sofia Coppola were among mine).
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.
