Harper's Bazaar captured a conversation between Chanel's front man, Karl Lagerfeld and music's fearless darling, Lady Gaga. What do you get when two icons get to talking? Keep reading for the most interesting quotes...
The conversation between Lagerfeld and Gaga focused around the adoration they have for their pets, and how they use them for inspiration. (And I thought I was obsessed with my dog.) Of course the two icons could not sit down without discussing fashion. Gaga shares her fashion tips and how she's searching for clothes with soul!!
KARL LAGERFELD: Since my Choupette is the most famous cat on the Internet, and your [French bulldog] Asia is the most famous dog on the Internet, should they meet? Does Asia have a personal maid like Choupette does?
LADY GAGA: They most certainly must meet! Asia is very sweet and calm. She would be very gentle with Choupette. She does not have a personal maid yet, but I adore making her little presents and cooking her homemade puppy food.
KL: Choupette talks without words; she communicates with me through her eyes. How does Asia communicate with you?
LG: Asia and I have a very special bond. She also talks a lot with her big, beautiful eyes. Her ears are especially large for a Frenchie, and I can tell she's comfy at home with Mommy because her ears are down. Asia also loves belly rubs, from everyone, and she lies on her back all the time to let me know!
KL: Choupette is my muse. Is Asia your musical inspiration?
LG: Asia is my inspiration for many things. She has really shown me the importance of living in the moment. If I don't, I'll miss a precious look on her face! She is a very romantic and loving animal, and this sort of poetry is what art is all about, I think. Interaction. She loves to sit with me when I record jazz. She never barks or makes noise; she just looks at me with her big ears.

KL: I think animals are better muses than human beings—they'll never fall out of fashion. What do you think of animals?
LG: I love animals. They communicate with us entirely with love, something we all should do. Asia and my love will never be out of fashion—it is unconditional.
KL: What are you into? What's your next fashion "trip"?
LG: I've been recently enjoying looking far and wide for the best vintage fashion I can find. Clothing with a story, a past.
Heavy fabrics, jewels, veils. My latest trip is feeling a connection to all women throughout history through fashion. I love wearing clothes knowing that I'm carrying the spirit of previous fashionistas, and living out more of their fantasies, and my own. I believe clothes carry the soul of the designer and the person wearing them forever, so I look for clothes with a soul. Perhaps it's something only I can see. But I know it's real.

KL: I heard you're going to Dubai for the first time. I hope you like it. I loved it when I showed the Chanel Dubai collection there.
LG: I'm very excited to go there, see my fans, give them the show of a lifetime. And, of course, I must explore the local designers and go shopping!
KL: I would call you the world's ever-changing fashion icon. How does it feel to be chosen as Carine Roitfeld and Bazaar's icon? You change all the time, but to me you stay the same Gaga. How do you manage that?
LG: It's an honor for you to say that, Karl. You are very classic. Classic for me is something that changes all the time, like a drifting anchor. Even though I'm changing all the time, I'm always thinking of iconography—which is repetition of images—so I'm always different. I'm in a way wearing the same outfit over and over, but I'm just a different expression of the same woman. When I leave the house, I bear the souls of fashionistas who came before me; I continue to live glamorously to celebrate them. I'm just being me.
