Thank you sethii! Too many prudes in the world...

Anna and Natasha outshine

Definitely

 

[nieska]

i love natasha but edita steals the show..shes super hot and sexy.

 

[saka]

I think the girls look very beautiful and the boys are hot as always, but hasnt this been done before?
I mean if they really want some hot action they could have done (boy on boy) and
(girl on girl).
Im sick of seeing girl and boy all the time! The only thing I really liked was the interracial couple.

 

[Crying Diamonds]

I don't find the photos or the video sexy in any way at all.
There's like.. no tension - it's just models lain on each other.. and on the floor.. wearing denim.

The pre-chaste Dolce & Gabbana ads - naked men - Rocha and Roslyakova with whips - they were hot.

I haven't seen the video yet but I don't get why everything has to be so overtly sexual. I prefer the adds where they are wearing clothes

i totally agree with you..girl on girl would have been hot. its different and in your face. still love the ads the best ones were with natalia v

that is fun that you say that ....
the commercial is banned (puritans ....) but it actually just say sex without going any further in the evolution of our societies ...
it's so patriarcal ......... so straight-minded ..... and straight in double sens !!!

i don't know what to think of this ad ... seriously ....
on the one hand i like it .... because in a way it reminds me certain main things about CK : sex (Brooke Shields and her "There's nothing btw me and CK" was already sexy ...., Kate etc. sexy poses on the beach) and the group shot reminds me the Meisel's hommage to Avedon Factory .... CK Factory is History of Fashion in the 90s .... the sofa of Kate and Sorrenti

on the other hand, i'm sad CK Jeans is into dirty-sex-b**g-g**g to sell ....... though banned campains brings its bunch of free advertising .... in a way, it's smart ....
but that's very old-fashioned, imo ......
and Meisel is still into it .... he's been pretty into sex lately (literal or not) .... this is just a soft version of his V recent editorial ....

 

[Street_a_Licious]

oh, the dogging one? lol, that was funny who knows, maybe the world needs some sex again. remember basically 10 years ago when the internet bubble burst and there was another financial crisis? Tom Ford sexed it up.

 

[cake_batter]

^ i noticed the similarities to the v editorial too. i think the only editorial work i've seen of naty is sex themed haha.

 

[DVEP]

Which V editorial would that be?

Thanks! I remember hearing about it but could never track it down.

 

[MiuMiuiluvit09]

These are great! i absolutely love them <3 bravo calvin klein! bravo

 

[Lamia]

I'm not so fond of the campaign.

 

[cheyqua]

I love love love this ad! it really is sexy

 

[ChrissyM]

this is controversial but i think it's exactly the sort of campaign that calvin klein/ck jeans needs and wants to make it relevant again...

they've been overshadowed by all the designer denim and this seems to be their way of saying "we're still here! remember our glory days! we're still relevant!"

i kind of like it..
ironically i think some of the tops look good...
what few of them are featured anyway

they're grabbing headlines with this and that was certainly their intention...

i think they do well with their sexual ads where multiple models interact with each other...
it's nice to see some new faces doing the ck ads as well...

i know they like to do exclusives but all the natalia stuff was getting tired and that's the most recent thing that sticks out in my mind when i think of calvin klein/ck jeans...
all of her campaigns for them started to run together in my mind

 

[Whitelinen]

Perhaps some of you could clear this up to me...

From my point of view, this isn't about fashion. That is, fashion as I see it: clothes and that as an expression of people's ideas, as an artform. To me, these CK campaigns (and similar campaigns) are about selling. So when we talk of Calvin Klein's "glory days" are we talking of his height as a clothing designer or the height of the press headlines he generated with campaigns with hints to paedophilia and p*rn*gr*phy?

Secondly... how is anybody being a prude for not accepting this campaign? I personally see this as offending - and no, not because I would be afraid of sex and being open about it. I fail to see what exactly in it is ground-breaking... p*rn*gr*phy, which is where this campaign derives its inspiration, is a very traditional and accepted thing in the Western society. It is not pro-sex, it is not pro-homosexuals, it is not pro-breaking traditional family values. p*rn*gr*phy is one of the things that actually holds some of our societies traditional values together.

Hmm... so, CK sells by p*rn*gr*phy. What is a.) positive, and b.) so groundbreaking about this campaign? Why are those who do not accept this, who are offended by this, prudes? I always thought a prude was somebody who was scared of sex and a bit of a hypocrite... but is not accepting p*rn*gr*phy or pornographical images not accepting sex or being a hypocrite? Sex = p*rn*gr*phy is not true. They are two separate things.

Perhaps, if CK can only make itself a great name with campaigns where there's more skin than fabric, we should wonder if CK is about fashion at all? I don't think that campaigns like these are selling with clothing, to be honest. When we buy CK, what do we buy?

I am personally not pro-p*rn*gr*phy and would not like to open a fashion magazine (where I think I am going to see clothes) and find p*rn*gr*phy/pornographical images. I thought campaigns like these were something that belonged to the 90's, like Spice Girls and all that... I thought fashion had moved on? I guess I was wrong... fashion, at least at CK, is still very much living in the past, and past values of the patriarchal, white, heterosexual society.

Just my two cents I'd really love to know what is meant with all this throwing of "prude" and "sexy" here.

 

[LUMANAcom]

Whitelinen, I couldnt have said it better.

It does look very 90's to me too...

i dunno, it's like soft core p*rn that is sexy but not compelling and totally forgettable. for a company like american apparel it would be fine, but calvin klein should be more fashion. semi undressed models writhing on each other isnt sufficiently fashion.
