insights into Karl's life

The first chapter of "Karl" plays in Davos, Switzerland, in March 2010. Here the seventy -year -old campfield fights against a snowstorm at a height of 2000 meters. Despite the extreme cold, he feels strong and free. After he is found by a wild keeper and brought to a high mountain clinic, he receives a concerned call from Baptiste Giabiconi, a male model that takes care of his health. Baptiste, who has an order in Los Angeles, offers to visit Karl, but this rejects. It is an interesting detail that Baptiste mentions to have a cat called Choupette with him that could temporarily live with Karl. Although Lagerfeld is skeptical about pets, he finally agrees to absorb the cat.

After three days, he returns to Paris, where he initially feels uncomfortable when thinking about the cat. Martine, his employee, has already left Choupette in Karl's house. This scene is particularly amusing because Karl is looking for his new roommate immediately and finds it hidden. When he finally discovered the French Burma cat in his armchair, he is annoyed because it sits on his valuable piece of furniture. puls24 detailed this amusing moment.

In the course of the action, an unexpected relationship between Karl and Choupette develops. The fashion designer, initially unwilling, finds at some point that he has taken the cat to heart. He even begins to promise her a welcome menu and orders food from the Ritz.
