AFFORDABLE CHIC

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld and his cat, Choupette.

For decades, Karl Lagerfeld has been a star on the international fashion scene. He began his career in the 1950s as Pierre Balmain's assistant. Currently, he's the head designer and creative director of Chanel and Fendi as well as his own namesake fashion house. He also finds time to dote on his equally famous cat, Choupette.
