Okay, so, let me tell you about this little project I got myself into, diving headfirst into the world of Calvin Klein models. You know, those ridiculously good-looking people who make the rest of us question our life choices? Yeah, those ones.
It all started when I stumbled upon some old ads. I got this wild idea to create a little digital scrapbook of sorts, a tribute to these icons. First things first, I needed to gather my materials. I spent hours, days even, scrolling through the internet, digging up old magazine scans, and even watching some vintage commercials.
Then came the fun part – organizing it all. I decided to go chronologically, you know, starting from the early days when Calvin Klein himself was just starting out in the late ’60s. It was a trip, seeing how the style evolved, from those minimalistic designs to the bold stuff they did in the ’90s. I even found a picture of that Olympic pole vaulter, Tom Hintnaus – the first face of Calvin Klein underwear. Imagine having your face (and body) on a Times Square billboard!
My Favorite Finds
- The ’90s era: Seriously, those Kate Moss ads? Iconic. I must have saved like a hundred different versions. She was the first model I put in my file.
- The deep dive into the designer himself: I read a bunch of articles and watched some interviews. That guy had vision and great sense of business.
- The newer faces: It was cool to see how they’ve kept up with the times, featuring people like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid in recent years. Then, there’s Jeremy Allen White. The collaboration between him and Calvin Klein is just awesome.
After I had everything somewhat organized, I started playing around with different layouts, fonts, and all that jazz. It was a mess at first, but I cleaned up gradually. I didn’t do anything fancy. Just good, old-fashioned digital scrapbooking.
In the end, I ended up with this cool little digital collection that I’m pretty proud of. It’s not just about pretty faces, though. It’s about how these people, along with Calvin Klein himself, really shaped the fashion world we see today. They made simple look sexy, and that’s no easy feat. It was a blast putting this together, and I hope you guys get a kick out of it too!
