CBS actually banned the ads.

They don’t even show the jeans.

No need. It's all branding.

Thanks!

I remember this one in particular.


SNL did spoofs on these. Here is Julia Louise Dreyfus's spoof.

I think she may have been 15 in the commercial?

It first aired in 1980 not 1981. (source: https://www.today.com/style/celeb-style/brooke-shields-responds-controversial-1980-calvin-klein-ad-rcna4104)

She was born I'm May of '65. She was 15 when it aired. Certainly 14 when the decisions were made, maybe when filmed. Keep in mind this was a different era.

I think Sports Illustrated supermodel Monica Schnarre was 15 when she was in SI's iconic swimsuit edition. (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monika_Schnarre)

Here’s Brooke discussing the ads on Colbert recently.

In short: she didn’t think they were inappropriate.

And if you watch the clip, you can tell that she doesn’t want to be painted as a victim. She feels normal.
