“Karl Lagerfeld was a regular attendee at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, from the Seventh on Sale benefit in 1991 to ‘Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty’ in 2011 and, of course, to the Chanel show in 2005.” Fashion he said in September 2022 when announcing the topic. “andrew bolton said: ‘Karl never tired of telling me that fashion does not belong in a museum. When we worked together on the Chanel show, he was incredibly generous with what he lent, but he was completely uninterested in the show itself! He used to say: ‘Fashion is not art, fashion belongs to the street, to the body of women, to the body of men’”.
It seems that Doja wasn’t the only star to be inspired by Karl’s beloved pet. Jared Leto he also posed on the red carpet dressed as a white cat, although his outfit included a furry suit and a mask that covered his entire head.
