Unlike most books being published today, American magazines are still being printed in America; many of them are not only superior in quality, they will last in terms of production values. In publisher's original shrinkwrap. Without DJ, as issued. Presents the complete Calvin Klein and Bruce Weber Magazine Issue-cum-Magazine Supplement/Insert. Weber's single best portfolio for Calvin Klein. It's the kind of inventive, mass-media merchandising Calvin Klein pioneered and became known for, generating tremendous press and consumer attention for himself and his eponymous brand, influencing, and revolutionizing the way the fashion industry does advertising even in our Social Media Age. The CK advertising campaign "had a seismic effect on America's social and cultural scene. Weber's photographs are part of the phenomenon they document. His advertising campaigns have come to stand for the acceptance of this imagery by the cultural mainstream. For those who can recall a time before it became acceptable for men to regard their underwear as fashion statements, Weber's images must count among the most revolutionary tools yet devised in the history of consumer manipulation" (The New York Times Magazine). Sexy photographs of the world's supermodels such as Christie Turlington and Marcus Schenkenberg, beauties who are now iconic figures of fashion. Showcases another look perfected by the photographer and much copied by others: Racier and sexier in a cosmopolitan, "metrosexual" way (long before the latter term gained mass currency), in contrast to the trademark "All-American" look that is identified with the Bruce Weber of "Bear Pond". An absolute "must-have" title for Bruce Weber and Calvin Klein collectors. This Calvin Klein/Bruce Weber Magazine Issue-cum-Magazine Supplement/Insert is a contemporary erotic photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only complete set available online, is still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, and has no flaws, pristine beauties. Please note: "Loose" copies of just the Insert available online have serious flaws yet command hundreds of dollars. Since this was, after all, an ephemeral magazine issue, 99.9% of remaining copies of the Supplement/Insert are opened, the shrinkwrap removed, separated from the Magazine Issue itself, in heavily used, soiled condition. For those who have everything else by BW, this is it. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with duotone plates. Bruce Weber's "O Rio de Janeiro", perhaps the sexiest photography book ever published, was selected as one of the "Seminal Photography Books of The 20th Century" in the "Book of 101 Books". One of the finest American photographers of our time. A fine collectible set. (SEE ALSO OTHER BRUCE WEBER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
