SShe actually got one of the rare invitations to the gala. She had even prepared by meeting Kim Kardashian in Paris, a “date,” as Kardashian later wrote. Her coming had already been announced unofficially, but only unofficially, i.e. in the “New York Post”. And now she hadn’t come after all. “I’m staying home in Paris,” Choupette announced on Instagram on Monday, a few hours before the big Met Gala in Manhattan.
Who would blame her? At the ripe old age of eleven, a Burmese cat has better things to do than climb the red carpet steps of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The flashing lights, the noise, the many strangers: Even for a spoiled cat, so much attention would be too much. She was the creature with whom Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, spent most of his time in his final years – and indeed the only creature he had lived with since his mother’s death.
At least it came out larger than life. But this Choupette, although clearly recognizable by her face, jumped onto the carpet like a polar bear. What kind of amateur actor was that?! On the stairs he took off his head – and it was Jared Leto. We hope that he will not embody the middle Lagerfeld in the big film project about his life so affably.
Lagerfeld didn’t miss out on having fun
The entire Met Gala, which over the years has become the most important social event in the fashion scene alongside Oscar night, revolved around Lagerfeld, not his expensive cat. The Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty exhibition opens at the Costume Institute of America’s largest art museum on Friday (until July 16). In almost 200 dresses and exhibits, curator Andrew Bolton tells the creative path of the German designer, from his beginnings at Pierre Balmain (1955 to 1958) and Jean Patou (1958 to 1964) to his early successes at Chloé (1964 to 1984 and 1992 to 1992). 1997) and Fendi (since 1965) to his masterpieces at Chanel (since 1983) and his own name brand (since 1984). “A Line of Beauty” is an allusion to William Hogarth’s treatise “The Analysis of Beauty” (1753), in which an S-shaped line represents liveliness and movement, as opposed to a straight line, representing stillness and inactivity . With the exhibition, and architect Tadao Ando with the exhibition design, Bolton shows how these lines intersect in Lagerfeld’s work. “A Line of Beauty” – this is also an allusion to “in the line of duty”, i.e. to the sense of duty and diligence of the “determining designer of the late 20th and early 21st century”. , as Met Director Max Hollein called him at Monday morning’s press conference.
Lagerfeld didn’t miss out on having fun – and at least the same can be said of the garish marketing display on the museum’s stairs.
