Wallpaper* Undresses Baptiste Giabocini by Karl Lagerfeld

  

Love him or hate him, and there seems to be plenty of the latter, Baptiste Giabocini, is currently the #1 male model according to MDC. While many question his hype and modeling abilities, the blogosphere keeps talking about him and he books some very interesting gigs. Following his unorthodox naked in high heels shoot in the new Purple Fashion, the 19 year-old French model who is the current Karl Lagerfeld muse/toy-boy stars on the innovative cover of the new October 2009 issue of Wallpaper*. Shot by Lagerfeld, the issue features a special peelable cover that undresses the Dior Homme clad model and leaves him nude.  Enjoy the peep show in the below animated picture of the cover in action and some images from the editorial.

Baptiste also stars in an inside ‘historical themed’ 27-page editorial by Lagerfeld that was shot in Rome, Paris and other European cities. Here are some of the images, including a full frontal of a nude Mr. Giabocini.

lovely photos. but, i have not been a fan of karl's since the year he used water faucets as the design feature on all of his outfits in his collection. it was one of the most ridiculous things i have ever seen.

Hi, my friend.
I hope that all goes well for you.
Here the name is good in the tag (Giabiconi) and not in the title (Giabocini).
Kindes regards.
