Calvin Klein mocks its upskirt social media backlash on Instagram
Calvin Klein has unrepentantly defended its #MyCalvin photoshoot which featured an upskirt image of a model.
A large number of viewers declared the photoshoot, which urged Instagram users to ‘Take a peek’ up model Klara Kristin’s dress (pictured above on the right), as "misogynist", bringing the campaign into the media limelight.
Several days later, and seemingly in response the company took a swing at its detractors.

This came after an image some could argue was in the style of the upskirt that caused the commotion in the first place.

Last year The Drum spoke to Calvin Klein chief marketing officer Melisa Goldie; she admitted the controversial brand “get censored all the time”.
It doesn't look like they're planning to shake up that formula anytime soon.
