COVET ISSUE 14

Alan Nelson is hardly what you’d expect a revolutionar y to look like. Instead of ar my fatigues, and a machine gun, Nelson’s preferred look is a black suit with a crisp white shir t, holding a glass of LaurentPerrier champagne. A look the funny and char ming, suave; silverhaired 52 year old wears well with his lean fitter-than-most-menhalf-his-age body. Little wonder he’s known as the Silver Fox.

They call her “C-Diddy”, her personal motto is “stay cool” and to her fashion means having the ability to express yourself freely. When it comes to her own style, she likes to mix things up from wearing vintage dresses to her prized Rock n Roll Burberr y jacket. If you haven’t already heard of her, then it is time to familiarise yourself with Miss Cara Delevingne.

Karl Lager feld is whom many fashion-savvy folk would refer to as a Fashion Idol. The house of Chanel and Karlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creatio ns are mimicked and re-created the world over, in the hope of owning a piece of the euphoria and feeling he creates with his pi eces. He is known in many fashion circles from Milan to the ever yday Melbour nians as the Godfather of style, and the epitome of cool. Covet Magazine caught up with Jess Dempsey of What Would Karl Do (WWKD) to find out what it is about Karl that speaks to her.
