In an interview he shared that Choupette had at least two personal maids at her disposal. He advised “They have to take care of her beautiful white hair, and provide beauty treatments for her eyes”. He went on to say that “Choupette is like a human being, and that she hates other animals and she hates children.” It is not yet publicly known who will now care for Choupette, in Karl’s absence, but it is openly realized that Choupette will be a beneficiary of Lagerfeld’s wealth and continue to live in the lap of luxury. As a cat lover myself, this does not seem odd to me at all. I would and will do the same.
Following Lagerfeld’s death of complications of Pancreatic cancer, it has been reported that he is to be cremated and his ashes be mixed with de Bascher, who died of AIDS in 1989, or with those of his mother.
Virginie Viard is said to be taking over Lagerfeld’s role at Chanel. It’s going to take some time getting used to not seeing Karl anymore.
