Reality star Kim Kardashian posed for photographer Karl Lagerfeld for the new magazine CR Fashion Book before she gave birth to North West. A new behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot was posted by the magazine, showing a very pregnant Kardashian posing for the famed photographer.

The photos were released earlier this month and show the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star in edgy poses while highlighting her baby bump. They will be featured in the third issue of former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld’s new magazine.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Givenchy designer Ricardo Tisci was the art director on the project. He has designed clothing for both Kardashian and her boyfriend, Kanye West. The video highlights some of the action and even features shots shown sideways, just like those in the magazine.

The text at the beginning of the video notes, “Paris, May 22, 2013. The day before Kim Kardashian eight months pregnant is allowed to fly back to L.A.” Kardashian momager Kris Jenner can also be spotted in the video, speaking with Lagerfeld.

According to Us Weekly, the late-term pregnancy photo spread was criticized, but Roitfeld defended it. “When we photographed her pregnant -- I love pregnant women -- she was beautiful,” she told the New York Post. “She was beautiful to cover; she is beautiful inside.”
