WHEN KARL LAGERFELD LAUNCHES THE MOST FABULOUS FELINE-FRIENDLY, FASHION-FORWARD SUNGLASSES COLLECTION…
All dedicated followers of fashion will know of the late Karl Lagerfeld’s love for his beautiful white Birman cat, Choupette. Arguably the richest cat in the world, Choupette became a celebrity in her own right, with an Instagram account (@choupettesdiary) that has amassed almost 300,000 feline followers. A trusted confidante to her master, she followed Karl around the world, from First Class cabins to the catwalks of Paris…
Now, forever immortalising the love affair between Karl and Choupette, as only fashion knows how, Karl Lagerfeld eyewear has launched a super-chic collection inspired by the feline. The lines mirror that of Choupette’s sleek feline silhouette, with cat ears engraved on the corners. In summer-endorsed colour combinations of mint with crystal rose flashes, black with Havana flash lenses and Blonde Havana with crystal pink lenses, they are surely the ultimate ‘It’ accessory for all loud and proud cat lovers.
