Carine Roitfeld is a genius. To only imagine the conversations that went on between Karl Lagerfeld, Carine, Riccardo Tisci, Kanye West and pregnant Kim Kardashian on set during this shoot (and the hustle it took to get her on the cover) is beyond human comprehension.
Either way, The Mask(-ed woman) that we saw a preview for on the third issue of CR Fashion Book is none other than Kim Kardashian. I’ve only met Kim once (in Cape Town of all places) but the respect and admiration I have for her and what she has achieved in this world is unparalleled. She’s an extremely smart woman and this is proof in point of the fact that she is playing this game better than most.
The CR Fashion Book shoot took place at Karl Lagerfeld’s studio the night before the amfAR gala in Cannes. It is art-directed by Riccardo Tisci.
The alternative cover features a Bruce Weber shoot with Emily Ratajkowski (my Blurred Lines favourite) and two male models engaging in well, a three-way I suppose. It’s good, it’s very Weber.
