CK Campaigns

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We've got some quickfire questions for you. You ready?

Name the most iconic underwear brand...

Name a brand that's worked with young Kate Moss...

A brand with the most catchy slogan...

A brand that's tapped every celebrity ever...

We may be wrong, but there's a preeeetty high chance you had the same answer for each: Calvin Klein.

Since the early '80s, the design house has been synonymous with iconic advertising. But its impact goes further than just Calvin Klein campaigns. Those original Brooke Shields/Marky Mark/Kate Moss days have left a lasting impact on fashion advertising today.

This is how they did it:
Controversial advertising
We've all seen our fair share of controversial fashion ads. There's Tom Ford's 2007 men's fragrance ads, Gucci's 2004 ' Public Enemy' campaign and American Apparel's racy campaigns (vale).

But look closer and you'll notice the majority of these campaigns happened post-1995. It was Calvin Klein that did it first.

In 1982, CK had a 16-year-old Brooke Shields ask the world: 'You know what gets between me and my Calvins? Nothing.'

A 16-year-old suggesting to the world she wasn't wearing underwear? It was shocking to say the least.

A decade later and Calvin Klein was making headlines once again. This time the label was accused of promoting child pornography in its 1995 campaign, shot by Steven Meisel. The American Justice Department opened an investigation which was later dropped, after the company provided proof that all the models featured were adults.

So with all the uproar surrounding these campaigns, why continue the controversy?

Because it worked.

In a 2016 interview with CNN, Calvin Klein himself reflected on the effectiveness of these campaigns.

"Parents were upset,"said Calvin Klein in a 2016 interview with CNN.

"But the people we were trying to reach, young people, they were thrilled to have something their parents were upset about."

And thrilling they were. Following Brooke Shields' breakout campaign, Entrepreneur reports that CK sold 200,000 pairs of jeans in that first week alone.
Selling more than just a product
Prior to 1980, fashion advertising was all about selling product. Calvin Klein's ads stood out because they were about selling something bigger: a lifestyle.

Take the 1982 launch of Calvin Klein Underwear, for example. Shot by Bruce Weber, the campaign depicted Olympian, Tomás Hintnaus, lying on a roof in only his briefs. It depicted underwear as sexy, rather than functional. And, as the old saying goes, sex sells.

That campaign revitalised a market that was previously focused on comfort and practicality. Instead of buying underwear, you were buying into a sexy new lifestyle.

As the Guardian explains: "[Calvin Klein Underwear] was designed to be seen, conferred status and wealth, and was totemic of its wearer's tribe."

Marky Mark joined the CK lineup soon after, further cementing the idea of underwear as a marker of status. 'Calvins' quickly became a fashion must-have.
Keeping it real
There's no doubt the fashion industry is changing. We're increasingly seeing labels push the boundaries of the traditional fashion campaign, using real women, street-cast and Instagram-cast models to front their campaigns.

But while this movement has seen accelerated growth in the past few years, the 'real world' has always been pivotal to Calvin Klein's campaigns.

Take Richard Avedon. The photographer quickly built a reputation for CK shots that captured the personalities of models. There are casting tapes that show Avedon spending hours getting to know his models (think Kate Moss and James King), in order to accurately capture their personalities for the CK be campaign.

His 1996 TVC for CK be went even further, depicting a street-cast selection of tattoo-covered, pierced models. The brand's talent of the era had pale skin, angular features and androgynous looks, a far cry from the Klums and Schiffers of the time.

"We use a lot of real people... So the world is seeing a reflection of what's really going on. I think people get it, and I think they like it," Calvin said at the time.

Over a decade later, it seems the rest of the industry is finally cottoning on.
The brand today
Decades later, and Calvin Klein still holds its position as a social and cultural barometer of cool. It's a tough feat in an industry as fleeting as fashion, but unsurprising, given the brand's desire to push conventional boundaries.

Today, Calvin Klein still uses street-cast models and seeks to reflect what's going on socially. In 2015, the brand's global campaign captured the world of digital dating, with snippets from Tinder and Grindr conversations.

This year, the brand has worked with a long list of celebrities, harnessing the power of social media's most influential people. The flow-on effect has been massive, with celebrities who aren't even brand ambassadors posting pics in their Calvins (that's how Justin Bieber scored his CK campaign). Naturally, the world has followed suit.

There are currently 452,853 images on Instagram with the tag #mycalvins. And with a continuing stream of users and influencers posting their #mycalvins pics, we can assume there are more iconic images to come.

Now that's how you market.

This Black Friday, resist the itch to buy some dumb thing just for the novelty of it, the fleeting illusion of control. The urge to buy isn't actually coming from inside you. It's code laid down by every ad, email, commercial and celebrity you've ever encountered.

Our minds are corrupted from a lifetime of lies designed to hollow us out and pluck our deepest insecurities. We're left in a lethargic funk, clinging to a brittle hope that can be shattered by a single piece of bad news.

It's time to break free of that whole fucking deal.

This Friday, keep the credit card holstered. Keep your cash in your jeans. Don't buy. Just breathe.

Step outside. Feel the pulse of the planet - the earth beneath your feet, the sun on your face. Listen to the wind. Watch a bird fly by. Give five bucks to a homeless person. Have a heart-to-heart chat with a friend.

Focus on what matters and watch as the everyday gray slowly returns to the colors of real life.

Black Friday is the perverse ritual of a failing civilization. Let's move on.

For the Wild,

The Third Force

Manufactured:
Manufactured: To make (something) on a large scale using machinery.

Ford was the first to introduce the moving assembly line which revolutionised the way we manufactured goods thereafter.
Copy:
Babies learn by imitating thier parents and those around them. Language and learning to walk are aquired through copying others.
Artificial:
I wasn't entirely sure what to pick exactly for this one, but in the end I went with blue smarties. They were originally banned due to an artificial chemical used to colour the blue smarties, which was the only colour they couldn't find a non-artificial colouring for at the time. Sweets generally contain artificial ingrediants, be they flavourings, colourings or preservatives.

Soph's notes on the terms raised in the Research Task 1

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
John Heartfield, born 1891, died 1968.

He invented a new language, a pictorial language

Cross-matched icons to create new meanings.

He was the first to realise photo-montage could become a powerful political weapon.

Photo-montage was a product of zygosis, bringing together mass media, art and social struggle to form powerful political images. His methods have since been shifted for advertising and commercial purposes.

In WWI, Heartfield pretended to be insane in order to avoid the war, during this time he produced his first photo-montages in the form of redesigned postcards which sent subversive dadaist messages to soldiers on the front. He also recreated himself, changing his name to John Heartfield during this time.

Heartfield and other Dadaists attacked capitalism, nationalism and other fashionable art groups, especially expressionism.

He developed what started as a political joke into a conscious artistic technique which takes a familiar icon and turns it into something new.

The invention of the lightweight camera meant that photo's became commonplace and is considered a key inv ention.

As Hitlers triumph drew closer, Heartfield's work ended it's definitive phase, moving from class conflict to attack the Nazi's through manipulation of their own propaganda.

The Nazi's were the first to benefit from and use mass media to put their messages across. For the first time people could reach hundreds of thousands of people via film, mass demonstration and radio. They had a wider audience than any political party had ever had before.

Heartfield's work was brought to Germany and distributed in secret. Because of a need to put the messages across in a short span of time he refined and sharpened his messages and technique to reflect this need.

Heartfield's photo-montages were produced in small printshops, often at the risk of life ad then given, often, to young children to distribute around the area. Small stickers were also used and stuck to things like walls. This method was considered highly successful, the children never being caught.

Heartfield also used humour as a weapon in his work, using visual wit to reveal the truth behind the official story.

Humour sharpened to viciously satirical point was to become characteristic of political photo-montage.

Each time Hitler staged a media event, Heartfield came back with his own version.

At this point in time, print, as the main channel of communication was already giving way to moving image.

The censorship of anti-Nazi montages from a Heartfield exhibition provoked international outcry.

Germany put pressure on the Czech government to have them sent Heartfield back to Germany. Instead he ran again, this time to England. There he and some others working with him tried to give the British public an idea of what was really happening in Germany, discovering that many, even during the war, were ignorant to the horror and persecution faced by Jews, Gypsies and anti-Nazi's in particular.

He later became a professor in the East Berlin Academy of Arts.

Many others have followed in his footsteps, echoing the technique he used though with differing themes.

"The important man is not the artist but the businessman who in the market place and on the battlefield holds the reins in his hands." - John Heartfield

Blog article exploring the value assigned to two versions of 'Dick Tracy' by the original comic artist and the famous pop artist.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Andy Warhol, Dick Tracy, 1960

This is one of the earliest pop art pictures Andy Warhol painted. After he saw Roy Lichtenstein's comics-based pieces, he gave up on using comics as a source for his own work.

The actual Chester Gould comic strip that this painting was derived from evidently dates from 1951. You can buy that original for $175,000.

So what does an original Chester Gould Dick Tracy strip usually go for? From this dealer, who sells a lot of comic strip art, your can spend between $495 and $1000 for a Dick Tracy original. That's about what I've seen from other dealers as well.

Now personally, I think Chester Gould is a great American artist, and that his original art should be worth a lot more. And while I think the multi-million dollar prices some Warhol pieces have gotten at auction are pretty ridiculous ($71 million?!), I have no problem with the idea that his art is and should be valuable.

What seems bizarre is that a piece of Chester Gould art should be worth 175 times what it might usually be worth in the market because Andy Warhol happened to have copied from it. Admittedly, it hasn't sold--$175,000 is the asking price. But this seems like a perfect example of Warhol's brand being used to enhance the value of something else. Don Thompson talks about this effect at length in The $12 Million Dollar Stuffed Shark, but usually in terms of individual artworks getting a boost from their association with branded collectors, dealers, auction houses or museums. For example, a painting at auction that came from the collection of David Rockefeller will sell for more than a similar painting by the same artist that came from Joe Shmoe's collection. In this case, a non-Warhol piece of artwork is worth more because Warhol is associated with it.
