CALVIN KLEIN COPS FLACK!
The new Calvin Klein jeans campaign that appears in magazines such as Details and Rolling Stone has caused a stir in New York when it appeared on the sides of buses. Some critics have called the images of teen models tasteless or pornographic. The photos were taken by fashion photographer Steven Miesel who shot Madonna’s Sex book. A statement from Calvin Klein reads, “If someone thinks that these ads are pornographic they are reading something into them that was not intended . . the inspiration of the new jeans campaign was the idea of amateurism and media awareness and the strength of personality and self knowledge of young people today.” Pat Sloan of Advertising Age told CNN, “Calvin Klein has recently been trying to rebuild his jean sales again, so he may well be looking to purposely court controversy.”
