Karl Lagerfeld dresses (and undresses) his muse Baptiste Giabiconi on this peel-off cover of Wallpaper. Looking like a Karl impersonator in his slick suit, high white color and slim black tie it’s easy to see what the inspiration for this cover was. That being said, if Mr. Lagerfeld was the star we would probably not be taking Wallpaper up on their offer of a peel-off over. Luckily this is not the case, so ladies, peel away.
