Calvin Klein Bringing Sex Back

Calvin Klein is bringing the sex and controversy into their campaigns.  Welcome back!

Calvin Klein Commercials, Then & Now...

Calvin Klein, the name, the brand is synonymous with sex, intellect and controversy. Granted Brooke Shield's commercial is iconic all in its own (circa 1980) and the more recent one with Eva Mendes is highly controversial with nudity, Calvin Klein consistently knows what the people really want when it comes to fashion, beauty and lifestyle. 

Congratulations CFDA Winners
