You know we love Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld's celebrated cat, who models and has a makeup line. We can't say enough good things about her. Karl Lagerfeld can't either. Karl Lagerfeld is the master of saying good things about Choupette. At the end of an interview with New York Magazine's The Cut, the designer launched into nearly 600-word ode to his cat, extolling her virtues, proclaiming her magnificence, and comparing her to Greta Garbo.
His passion was so intense, so melodic, and so crazy, we thought we'd present it to you in lyrical form, complete with a chorus. If you have the stomach for it, imagine Lagerfeld slow rapping the versus while Rihanna -- wait, make it Beyonce -- belts out the chorus.
"The Center of the World," by Karl Lagerfeld, as rapped to Amy Larocca of The Cut last week
It’s a miracle in the story
Choupette was not even given to me
Choupette belonged to a friend of mine
Who asked if my maid could take care of her for two weeks when he was away
When he came back, he was told that Choupette would not return to him
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the woooooorld
He got another cat who became fat
And Choupette became the most famous cat in the world, and the richest
She did two jobs and made 3 million euros last year
I don’t allow her to do foodstuffs and things like this. She’s too sophisticated for that
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the woooooorld
She has something unique, she is like a human being
But the good thing is that she’s silent
You don’t have to discuss it
She hates other animals and she hates children
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the woooooorld
She stays always with me and she has two personal maids
They play with her; they have to take care of her beautiful white hair
The beauty treatments for her eyes, and they entertain her
If you saw her, you would understand
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the world
She is the center of the woooooorld
She is kind of Greta Garbo
There is something unforgettable about her, the way she moves, the way she plays
She’s an inspiration for elegance
For attitude
Well, that was lovely. The other day someone asked me about my cat and I said, "She's great!" Man, I'm such a tool.
