Karl Lagerfeld for Wallpaper*

Karl Lagerfeld brought Baptiste Giabiconi out on the AW09 PFW catwalk looking mighty fine, and is using him again in his latest venture; his new muse, dressed in Dior Homme, is the coverstar for the latest issue of Wallpaper*. Readers can peel off this image to reveal another, sans Dior Homme.

Lagerfeld’s 27 page guest-edited section focuses on photographs of his houses, the extraordinary belongings he crams into them and his muse travelling from Ancient Rome to mid-century Paris, via the Palace of Versailles.



The two collector's items out this month are memorable and unique: both using paper technologies never used before on magazine covers. The magazine also enlisted designer Philippe Starck as guest editor for the other special October issue, but I know which one I'd prefer to buy.
