Karl Lagerfeld's cat wants for nothing and is the first to own Dyson's Supersonic hair dryer.

The team behind the 82-year-old Chanel designer treated Choupette to the first ever hair product from the electrical brand, which features a 13-blade turbine and quiet motor, although the gadget is yet to launch in Europe.

Speaking to The Sunday Times Style magazine, Sir James Dyson said: "Karl's people got in touch. We sent one straight away."

Lagerfeld's feline - who has a make-up collection with Shu Uemura - is recognised for being a well-pampered cat and regularly showered with luxuries from the designer and her own "personal maids".

Speaking previously about the animal, he said: "She stays always with me and she has two personal maids.

"They play with her, they have to take care of her beautiful white hair, the beauty treatments for her eyes, and they entertain her.

"There is something unforgettable about her, the way she moves, the way she plays."

Lagerfeld - who has collaborated with Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner and Lily-Rose Depp - believes Choupette is the ultimate style icon.

"She's an inspiration for elegance. For attitude. She is the centre of the world."

Lagerfeld has been in the business for 40 years, following the launch of his clothing line named after himself in 1974, and says he has no plans to quit.

"Everyone wants to know and hopes I retire so they can get the jobs. But my contracts with (Italian label) Fendi and Chanel are lifelong."
