Is everything as glamorous as it seems? The iconic Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg Calvin Klein underwear advertisements, seared into the collective memory of the '90s, might conceal a narrative far removed from the glossy veneer of high fashion.
The early 1990s witnessed Calvin Klein's strategic overhaul of the basics, transforming underwear from a mundane necessity into a highly desirable fashion statement. This metamorphosis was fueled by salacious advertising campaigns, most notably the provocative television commercials and print ads featuring a young, topless Kate Moss alongside Marky Mark (as Mark Wahlberg was then known). These images, captured by Herb Ritts, were plastered on billboards and magazine pages, forever changing the landscape of fashion advertising. In 1992, these advertisements were everywhere, adorning New York City phone booths and captivating the nation.
