Calvin Klein has been known to stir a bit of controversy with its advertisements, but above all this, the brand has also helped launch the careers of several supermodels. From Brooke Shields’ famous “Nothing comes between me and my Calvin’s” line to Kate Moss’ ‘Obsession’ fragrance campaign, and most recently, Kendall Jenner’s #mycalvins advertisements, we take a look back at the label’s most famous faces. Discover eight amazing Calvin Klein models below.
Landing a Calvin Klein campaign is a landmark moment in a model’s career. Other notable CK faces include Julia Nobis, Edita Vilkeviciute, Lulu Tenney and Doutzen Kroes. With such famous names, it’s no wonder why Kendall said this about landing her first advertisement for the brand. “I’ve grown up wearing the brand and seeing the iconic advertising in magazines and on billboards featuring some of the world’s top supermodels. To now be a part of that legacy is truly an honor.”
Christy Turlington
A Calvin Klein model since the 1990s, Christy Turlington has appeared in the brand’s Underwear advertisements as well as the famous ‘Eternity’ campaign. As recently as 2013, Christy flaunted her body in Calvin Klein’s underwear campaign and appeared alongside her husband Ed Burns for the Eternity fragrance’s 25th anniversary in 2014.
Natalia Vodianova
Russian model Natalia Vodianova was famously the face of Calvin Klein for eight consecutive season’s during the mid-2000s. In addition to fronting campaigns for CK’s underwear and jeans lines, Natalia also had a lucrative contract as the face of Calvin Klein’s Euphoria fragrance, dating back to 2005.
Kate Moss
Kate Moss cemented her place as one of the industry’s most iconic supermodels with her run of Calvin Klein campaigns in the 1990s. Moss fronted advertisements for the brand’s mainline, Underwear, cK and Jeans line. Posing with the likes of Mark Wahlberg and Jamie Dornan, Kate remains one of the most notable Calvin Klein models of all time.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner went from reality television star to supermodel in just a two-year time span thanks in a large part thanks to her ads for Calvin Klein. 2015 marked her breakthrough year when she starred in two CK campaigns. One for the brand’s Underwear range another for Calvin Klein Jeans. Kendall would continue to appear in campaigns, most recently in #mycalvins spring 2019 ads.
Brooke Shields
In 1980, Brooke Shields modeled in the Calvin Klein Jeans ad campaign. Saying the tagline: “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing,” it was racy for the time. And even today, the ad remains one of the most memorable fashion campaigns of all time.
Lara Stone
Lara Stone appeared in her first Calvin Klein campaign in 2008, but it would be less than two years later when the model landed a lucrative contract with the brand. From 2010 to 2015, Lara fronted advertisements for Calvin Klein Jeans, Underwear and the Calvin Klein Collection lines. Famously she appeared with Justin Bieber in the highly buzzed about Jeans campaign.
Kaia Gerber
Kaia Gerber appeared in three denim campaigns for the brand in 2018. The daughter of Cindy Crawford, the 17-year-old even joined her brother Presley for the advertisements captured by Willy Vanderperre. Hopefully, we will start seeing more of her for the brand in the next few years.
Liya Kebede
Liya Kebede was named the face of Calvin Klen’s Eternity face in 2017. Posing alongside actor Jake Gyllenhaal, the two played a fictional family for the black and white portrait. Liya would also appear in CK’s ready-to-wear advertisements a year later.
