Lottie Moss, who has been snapped up by Storm Models – the agency that discovered Kate at New York’s JFK airport in 1988 aged 14 – bears a striking resemblance to her older sister in the new imagery: she is following in her half-sister’s footsteps, modelling Calvin Klein Jeans ‘x mytheresa.com The Re-Issue Project’ 21 years after Kate was unveiled as an ambassador for the brand and clearly picking up a few tips from Kate (who is a long-time Calvin Klein muse).
The Calvin Klein Jeans ‘x mytheresa.com The Re-Issue Project’, a capsule collection features modernised, limited-edition versions of nine of the brand’s most iconic pieces which will be sold exclusively on Mytheresa.com. from Wednesday, July 16th.
Designed by Calvin Klein Jeans’ Global Creative Director, Kevin Carrigan, the archival styles have been updated with modern fabrications and technology, and will be offered in multiple colours. Speaking about the range, a spokesman for mytheresa.com, said: “This Calvin Klein Jeans capsule is all about a nostalgia for the Nineties and that whole look feeling very right again. It now feels like the perfect time to re-issue the brand’s iconic hits to a new generation“.
The re-issue project will range from £70 to £270 ($127 to $491) and features versions of the original high-waisted skinny jeans worn by Shields in the ’80s and the classic, boyfriend tapered jeans made famous by Kate in the 1990s, as well as the brand’s popular “cK” sweatshirts and t-shirts.
In-keeping with the full-circle nature of the project, Michael is the grandson of renowned photographer Richard Avedon, who shot the iconic 1981 Calvin Klein Jeans campaign featuring Brooke Shields with the famous tagline: “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing“.
On shooting the throwback black-and-white images for the collection Michael said: “Lottie truly represents the essence of the Calvin Klein girl. Intriguing innocence with utter beauty – it was wonderful to photograph this beautiful young lady“.
Flashback: Lottie’s half-sister Kate lent her modelling expertise to Calvin Klein when she was 18 back in 1992
Muse: Kate Moss, pictured, left, in a campaign with Fifty Shades Of Grey actor Jamie Dornan in 2006, and, right, in 1992 with Mark Wahlberg, has been working with Calvin Klein for many years.
Lottie, the daughter of Kate’s father Peter and his second wife Inger, was taken on by Storm Models when she was 13, but they had not released any professional photographs until the model’s 16th birthday in January. The model agency quickly signed the willowy teenager and she’s being tipped by fashion insiders as a star of the future. She is already collecting a legion of fans, with an impressive 6,000 followers on Twitter.
Speaking about the signing at the start of the year, Storm said: “Now that she has turned 16, we are pleased to welcome Lottie on to our client roster on our New Faces division at Storm. However, as she is in full-time education, she is concentrating on her exams and this is her focus”.
Watch out, Cara Delevingne 😉
