He dons rich fur and leather coats from million-dollar fashion labels like Prada and Burberry and completed looks with garments from Ferragamo, Tom Ford and accessories from David Yurman.

The cover features Lamar rocking a full fur Michael Kors coat and the spread pictures him in luxe looks including a Gucci embroidered peacoat and shearling made-to-order coat by Dolce & Gabbana.
