Before there was little Lottie fronting the Calvin Klein Jeans x Mytheresa.com The Re-Issue Project, there was Kate.

Shot in black and white by her old flame Mario Sorrenti, it was the ad that had everyone wanting more. Never underestimate the power of Obsession.

Wouldn’t you want to live like this for eternity?

If you wanna be cool, you gotta bend it like Brooke.
