ABOUT COVERED. by KLS

Robin Thicke, Al B. Sure, Tyrese Essence Fest

COVERED. by KLS is an independent digital publication covering fashion, music, culture, community & icons.

 

Since March 2025, COVERED. by KLS has published eight issues across fashion, music, culture, and community — documenting the moments, the artists, the brands, and the people shaping culture in real time.

 

We operate from a single standard: if it moves culture, it deserves to be covered at the highest level. Every story is editorial. Every image is original. Every issue is a record.

 

COVERED. by KLS is a publication — built to grow, built to last, and built to cover.
