Kendall Jenner appears in the new spring/summer issue of Love magazine modelling breast and buttock prosthetics. (Warning images below contain nudity).

Older sister Kim Kardashian is well known for her curvaceous figure, but in a new shoot it is younger sister Jenner sporting a more voluptuous figure.

The 19 year old model stars alongside Malgosia Bela and Caroline Trentini in the editorial shoot photographed by Steven Klein and styled by Fashion Director Panos Yiapanis for issue 13 of Love magazine.

In the editorial which is a specially commissioned art project created to explore the changing ideals of body shape, Jenner and her fellow models are pictured wearing fake breasts and bums.

The stick on bums and boobs were especially created for the shoot by prosthetics experts at Tinsley Studios.

In an interview with Style.com Yiapanis discussed his inspiration for the shoot:

"I’d done a shoot in the past with fat suits, and it led me to this, especially lately with this obsession with a new body shape. I kind of wanted to question how valid that is for designers, whether it’s just a stunt or if it’s a true shift. We’re so accustomed to the shape that’s been on the runway for the past 20 years that I don’t know how honest this new, more curvaceous figure is as an intention."

On the practicalities of working with silicone prosthetics Yiapanis said:

"They were made of silicone, so after a few hours, they kind of start to droop. We’d have to switch pairs and put them in the fridge. They were huge. They were even bigger than DDDs."
