So the big news is that Choupette is in love. Karl Lagerfeld’s pet Birman is depicted on tote bags and T-shirts — hearts in her eyes in lieu of pupils — sidling up to a cool-cat suitor who wears sunglasses like the man of the house. More serious and substantial clothes in Lagerfeld¹s fall range included stadium-length cocoon coats in a bold bouclé — the main alternative to the maxi this Paris season — along with tweed cardigan jackets and lamé dresses the color of pink champagne patched with black velvet circles, leather squares or sparkly stars. These details added that thrum of rock ‘n’ roll that defines this contemporary range, as did mainstay pieces like biker leather jeans and perfectos, this season in an offbeat Army green.
