Share with us... Your Best & Worst Collections of Haute Couture S/S 2025
- wwdPARIS — Feline eyes and a pale complexion are definitely in. Just ask Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld’s famous, snow-white Siamese cat, who is to front a holiday makeup collection for Japanese brand Shu Uemura, WWD has learned.
Billing it as the first tie-up between a beauty name and a house pet, Shu Uemura is to unveil the range in the fall under the Shupette by Karl Lagerfeld for Shu Uemura label.
This marks a return engagement for Lagerfeld, who did a 17-stockkeeping-unit line for holiday retailing in 2012 that shipped to some 400 doors under the Karl Lagerfeld for Shu Uemura label. That range was based on a cartoon spokesmodel he dreamed up called Mon Shu, with red eyes, a jet-black bob and a wardrobe similar to the designer’s.
Press materials suggest the Shupette range is likely to include furry false eyelashes, and includes a quote from the cat, calling herself “queen of catnaps” and “social media’s most wanted.”
