The original face of the Calvin Klein fragrance returns 26 years later for Eternity Night, with the same face and body but a new sidekick; her husband, Ed Burns.
Christy Turlington is back as the unchanged face and body of Calvin Klein fragrances 26 years after her first Eternity campaign. This time she fronts Eternity Night, the American fashion house's latest perfume, and this time she has a different kind of company.
As WWD reports, Turlington's husband, filmmaker Ed Burns, makes a dashing appearance alongside her, marking the first time the handsome couple have appeared in an ad together.
Christy and Ed are the ideal couple to represent our timeless Eternity Calvin Klein fragrance, as we continue to support the brand with a new global advertising campaign and an expanded offering with Eternity Night Calvin Klein," said Tom Murry, chief executive officer of Calvin Klein Inc.
Shot in Turks & Caicos, the campaign is exactly what you would expect from Calvin Klein; passionate, intense but always understated. However admits Turlington, "it's also funny to be intimate with your life partner and have people around."
Setting for the scene Turlington describes how "in the beginning we were pretty giggly. And after the first day, [Ed] said to me, 'I'm so glad you're not doing this with somebody else.' I said, 'I wouldn't be doing this with someone else."
As well as having her husband on set, Calvin Klein have also welcomed Turlington back by pledging 100 per cent of profits from the US sales of Eternity Calvin Klein's 25th Anniversary Edition bottles to Every Mother Counts, her charity which "fosters the message of eternal love and commitment through the support of various charitable endeavors to help better individuals and communities," explains Steve Mormoris, senior VP of Calvin Kelin, Coty Prestige.
Shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin ("probably the two photographers I've worked with most over the past 10 years," said Turlington) with a TV ad directed by Trey Laird launches, the campaign will be released in June as part of a global launch for the limited edition Eternity Night.
