Karl Lagerfeld's Peelable Cover for Wallpaper Magazine October 2009

Karl Lagerfeld has teamed up with Philippe Starck this month to create a special edition cover for Wallpaper magazine. The publication literally has a "peelable" cover featuring Baptiste Giabiconi in Dior Homme which can be removed to reveal the other cover where he is naked! Starck has developed a new technology of paper allowing the cover to be constructed from three layers of tracing paper which has never before been used on a magazine. Editor-in-chief, Tony Chambers explained, "Like their illustrious predecessors, Lagerfeld and Starck have made full use of their prime piece of Wallpaper* real estate. Both have stepped out of their creative comfort zones to challenge our preconceptions as well as their own." How do you feel about the revealing cover?
