What do Claudia Schiffer and Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette have in common? For starters, both are spokesmodels for the new Opel Corsa.

While the German supermodel stars in an ad campaign for Opel’s new city car, Choupette is the face of the 2015 Opel Corsa Calendar, shot by her famous owner.

Tina Müller, chief marketing officer at Opel, explains the brand’s bold choice: “The fifth generation of the Corsa has just been launched. In the last 32 years, it has been photographed with numerous supermodels. There was only one way to beat that in a special way: Choupette.”

KARL LAGERFELD was happy to oblige, heading into a Parisian studio to photograph his feline friend on and inside the new Corsa.

A celebrity in her own right, the Birman cat Choupette Lagerfeld is already the subject of a book, “Choupette – the Enchanted Life of a Fashion Cat.” She also has over 40,000 followers on Twitter.

The photographs shot by Karl Lagerfeld for the Corsa calendar will be featured in a vernissage at the start of 2015, Opel states in a release.
