Hiding from #Monday like…
So far, it was not, however, but there is nothing to suggest that Choupettes luxury living ends, simply because Lagerfeld is no longer with us.
in Fact, she will by all accounts have more than enough for the rest of his nine lives.
he explained last year in an interview with the magazine Numéro.
– I have read somewhere that Choupette will inherit your great fortune, said the journalist.
Among other, yes. Take it easy, there is enough for everyone, said Lagerfeld.
In the same interview he explained that he with his beard looks like Choupette and her whiskers.
– We are truly like an old married couple. She fits it in fact for me. We sleep on the same pillow, and she uses her life to lick it.
On the plans for his last time said Lagerfeld as follows:
– There will be no funeral. I would rather die … I have asked to be cremated and that my ashes will be scattered together with my mother’s … and Choupettes, if she dies before me.
