PHOTOS Kim Kardashian poses in lingerie in a big pile of dirt for new fashion spread

A new Kim Kardashian photo spread is raising eyebrows as certainly one of the reality TV icon’s more unique experiments. Mere months after attempting to “Break the Internet” with her infamous Paper Magazine spread, Kim is featured rolling around in the dirt at a barren French chateau, wearing a skin-colored body suit, lingerie, and knee-high black tights.

Kanye West is also present in the photos.

This time, Kim Kardashian’s venue of choice is System Magazine, an organ whose goal is to “[explore] with style and substance the dialogues at the heart of the global fashion industry.” It’s a biannual publication, but the Kim and Kanye photo shoot was deemed special enough to warrant its own booklet, separate from the magazine’s run.

Kanye makes minimal appearances throughout the photo series, but is credited as the “stylist” for the endeavor.

Noted fashion photographer Juergen Teller snapped the intriguing photos–hence the booklet’s name: “Kanye, Juergen and Kim.” (Unfortunately, System Magazine‘s house style does not allow for the Oxford comma.) If you want to purchase a physical copy of the collection, the press release states it “will be on sale exclusively, and for a limited period, at IDEA BOOKS, Dover Street Market London and www.system-magazine.com from July 11th 2015.”

You can also buy it online. The booklet sells for twenty British pounds, or approximately $30 US dollars.

Reaction to the collection is mixed. “Kim Kardashian’s worst photo shoot ever,” proclaimed one publication. “Odd [and] bizarre,” said another.

And then there were the tweets:

What do you, the viewers at home, think? Is this a wonderful style experiment, a bad idea run rampant…or something else?
