46 Years Ago a 15-Year-Old Brooke Shields Invented the Designer Jean [GASnle2H0Qd]
@ywttttt · #ywt #brookeshields #calvinklein May 31, 1965 — Brooke Shields was born. In 1980, at 15, she became the face of Calvin Klein Jeans — and one line turned a pair of jeans into a national argument. "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins." CBS and ABC banned the commercial within 24 hours. Calvin Klein went from 200,000 to 400,000 pairs a week. The designer jean — as a category — started here. "I was naive." — Brooke Shields, looking back. YWT — when culture became searchable.
