NEW YORK Calvin Klein Collection regular Natalia Vodianova, who’s been featured in the fashion house’s ad campaigns since 2003, is taking a season off given she’s seven months pregnant. In her place the company has cast Finnish model Suvi as its model for Fall 2007. Photographed at Milk Studios by Craig McDean under creative director Fabien Baron, the stark, clean images—an extension of last season’s concept—also feature male model Sean O. in his first men’s Collection campaign. The spreads are comprised of a mix of complementary color and black-and-white images: full looks are presented in rich color while the opposite detail shots are in graphic black and white.
Halle Berry’s boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, returns for the Calvin Klein ads, which were shot at 7 World Trade Center by Mikael Jansson and will only be
seen in the U.S. market. The images also feature the model Malgosia. Jaime Burke will also mark his second go-around with Calvin Klein Jeans this fall, having had his contract renewed to star alongside French Vogue cover girl Lara Stone in the youthful images shot by David Sims. Meanwhile, the ck Calvin Klein ads, also shot by Sims, features models Raquel Zimmerman and Nico Derobertis.
The Calvin Klein Collection and Calvin Klein Jeans ads begin appearing in August books, while Calvin Klein will start in September
