About this Item

- Quarto, 11 inches high by 7-3/4 inches wide. A folding brochure consisting of 4 panels advertising Calvin Klein's "CK One" eau de toilette fragrance. The front and rear of the brochure are illustrated with monochrome photographs of the CK One bottle. Opened up, the brochure depicts 2 young women in casual attire facing one another. The brochure finally unfolds to reveal Steven Meisel's black and white photograph of 14 sexually ambiguous young people. Meisel's 11 inch high by 36 inch wide image was inspired by Richard Avedon's famous 1969 photograph of "Andy Warhol and Members of the Factory". Tiny staple holes along the center fold would suggest that this rare brochure was likely extracted from a periodical of the period. Very good. According to a an article on the Highsnobiety site entitled "20 Years of CK One: The Grit Minimal Revival", "The Calvin Klein One campaigns of the 1990s were some of the most striking and controversial of the decade, and have since become a piece of classic fashion advert history. CK was one of the first fashion brands with a clean, and minimal but edgy approach to a unisex fragrance aimed at Generation X". Seller Inventory # 37508
