The photos that came out of the
CR Fashion Book
shoot are certainly stunning. Kim gives good face, and the Kaiser himself knows how to snap a talked-about photo. It's a beautiful and (dare we say it) important shoot, because it marks a moment where Kim Kardashian is being considered for something other than a tabloid reality queen. There is, however, an eerie tongue-in-cheek air about the whole thing. In all honesty, it's the soundtrack that's heightening the dramatic look-at-what-I've-done factor Roitfeld was going for. After all, her decision to put the one woman Vogue refuses to feature on the cover, is a velvet slap in the face to Ms. Wintour. Whether its impact will change the way the Kardashian clan is viewed, though, is still up for debate.
