Item description from seller

1st Printing. 1 pages. Published in 1992. Rare Calvin Klein and Steven Klein collectible item. A fine copy of the massive CK Pull-Out Supplement. Originally intended as a free insertion in all copies of Vanity Fair Magazine. ALL were subsequently withdrawn because the models were deemed underage. Should NOT be confused with subsequent magazine insertions that were significantly toned down to avoid being banned: The Main Male Model's lower parts were cropped altogether. Size is 24 X 20 inches. Four back-to-back color portraits. Printed on thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. There is no ISBN. The Pull-Out Supplement is now rare. Presents "Calvin Klein Briefs Pullout Supplement For Vanity Fair Magazine". Four color portraits of very young male and female models wearing revealing Calvin Klein Jeans (and in the case of the main model, CK briefs). The controversy the Supplement aroused was enough for Vanity Fair Magazine to pull it out (as it were) on their own. People are used to Calvin Klein pushing the envelope when it comes to nudity and sex in advertising. So it was not enough for CK to do more of the same at the time. He may have pushed too far in 1992 with this Supplement. Since it was his intention after all, the models came across as "Teenage Lust"-underage (they were legally, adults) at a time when abstinence and celibacy had become the norm in the Age of AIDS. Still, it's the kind of inventive mass-media merchandising Calvin Klein pioneered and became known for, generating tremendous press coverage and consumer attention for himself and his eponymous brand, and revolutionizing the way the fashion industry does advertising. The ad also showcases the provocative and sexually suggestive look perfected by Steven Klein, the fashion and lifestyle photographer (no relation to Calvin), that is much copied by others. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Calvin Klein and Steven Klein collectors. This 24 X 20 Inch Pull-Out Supplement is a contemporary erotic photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with subsequent magazine insertions that were significantly toned down to avoid being banned: The Main Male Model's lower parts were cropped altogether. A rare copy thus. 4 color plates. One of the greatest image-makers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CALVIN KLEIN AND BRUCE WEBER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).…
