The Kardashian sisters sizzle in lingerie for clothing line campaign... shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz

By ANDREA MAGRATH



Sister act: Racy new promotional shots of the Kardashian sisters for the Sears clothing line have been released



Many critics continue to dismiss the Kardashians as simply famous for being famous.



But one respected figure has jumped on the bandwagon - world renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz has shot the sisters for an ad campaign to promote their clothing line for department store Sears.



Kim, Kourtney and Khloe posed for the famed artist scantily clad in lingerie in newly released shots.



Gazing seductively at the cameras, Kim, 30, shows off her famous assets in a black and white lace set.



Kourtney, 32, dons a skimpy colourful design while youngest Khloe, 27, wears a pretty pink lace basque and suspender stockings.



The top secret photoshoot was completed back in May, and Kim gushed about working with Leibovitz on her blog at the time.

She wrote: 'What an amazing day! We shot with the living legend herself, Annie Leibovitz! I swear this was such an eye opening day. She shot our Kardashian Kollection for Sears ad campaign!



'I can’t give away any details, but we have never been shot like this before and it was soooo fun shooting with Kourtney and Khloe… Mason even made a cameo!'



The trio clearly made a lasting impression on the photographer, who is now throwing them a bash at her studio in New York next week to celebrate the Kardashian Kollection clothing line.





Animal instinct: The family are expanding their empire with another retail store opening soon in Las Vegas called Kardashian Khaos





Leibovitz is known for her love of celebrity photography and has snapped rock and business royalty with commissions from Michael Jackson to Bill Gates to real royalty, The Queen.



The 61-year-old famously photographed John Lennon and Yoko Ono in his last photo shoot. He was shot and killed just five hours later.



In the photos with the New York based photographed the Kardashian girls lounge on a sofa clad all in black and in another strut towards the camera in leopard-print pieces.



The Kardashian Kollection was launched in Los Angeles a fortnight ago and hit stores on August 25.

In addition to their collection for Sears and various fragrances and other products, the family continue to expand their retail empire.



They announced this week that another boutique, named Kardashian Khaos will be opening later this year in Las Vegas. The family already have three branches of their DASH franchise in Calabasas, New York and Miami.
