Kim Kardashian West holds an extra-special memory with the late Karl Lagerfeld — he shot her first major fashion spread.

Kardashian West mourned the loss of Lagerfeld, who photographed the star for a provocative shoot with CR Fashion Book in 2013 while she was seven months pregnant with daughter North West.

“We lost a true legend!!!! You were such an inspiration to the world! You shot my first fashion shoot and I was so nervous to work with such an icon!” Kardashian West, 38, wrote on Instagram alongside a series of photos with the fashion icon.

“The world is so much chicer because you existed! I am beyond honored to have met you and had the opportunity to work with you. You are so loved and will be so missed ]]>💔
