Is that you, Kim Kardashian? High fashion shoot sees expectant reality star smeared with jam and baring her bump in 'precious moment of pregnancy'
|
We are more familiar with Kim Kardashian immaculately made-up and red carpet-ready. But a new high fashion shoot for CR Fashion Book shows the reality star as we have never seen her before.
The new mother, 32, who was heavily pregnant at the time of the May shoot, posed for Karl Lagerfeld with her mouth smeared with jam.
Another image shows her in a black veil and a Yankees cap, while a further frame shows her baring her seven-months-pregnant belly with pride.

Kardashian also appears on one of two covers for the third edition of the magazine, which is themed around the idea of hope.
She wears a grill in the image - the latest celebrity to do so - staring down at the camera with her mouth ajar.
CR Fashion book founder and editor Carine Roitfeld told WWD that the image was a 'precious moment of Kim’s pregnancy that people haven’t seen.'

The shoot took place at Lagerfeld's studio in Paris, and was art-directed by Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci - a good friend of Kardashian's boyfriend Kanye West.
It took place the night before the amfAR gala in Cannes, and the team finished up at around 2am.
'Karl likes to shoot in the evening,' Roitfeld explained. 'It was hard work. I’m a grandma. But I learned from Karl to never be tired.'

It is not the first time Roitfeld has focused on the idea of pregnancy in her biannual magazine. For her inaugural issue, she featured a photograph of her daughter, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, while heavily pregnant.
'Pregnancy is something that I always love. It’s about hope and the future and a new baby,' she said.
But, she insists, her feature on Kardashian is a far cry from the weekly magazines that charted every stage of her pregnancy.

'This is not something for a gossip magazine that goes into the trash. This is a magazine that is a collector’s item,' she said.
The theme of the magazine, hope, was inspired by the baroque painter Caravaggio, a favorite of Roitfeld's.
