BrookeShields tells the story behind one of the most controversial fashion ads of all time in this epsiode of BehindtheMoment.
delivered in her 1980 Calvin Klein campaign—one that went on to become one of the most famous, and controversial, fashion ads of all time. And in a brand new video, Shields sat down withAt the time of the campaign, Shields was only 15 years old, and it was her mother who was approached by theteam to cast her in it.
