Every sartorial sign of late seems to be inscribed with the same set of directions -- in times of recession, stick with what you know. Dior did it, channeling its most theatrical, classical self on a Paris catwalk earlier this week. Then there’s the recent resurfacing of trends from decades past -- from the 80s (a bandwagon carrying everyone from Beth Ditto to Topshop) to Hollywood’s golden age and the Joan of Arc. Not to mention supermodels are back and bigger than ever. Now you can ad Calvin Klein to the "new nostalgia" bandwagon.

The brand’s latest ad campaign for its denim line reeks of the sexually charged, envelope-pushing advertising with which the brand is synonymous (from Brooke Shields nude in the 80s, the heroin chic of the 90s, and Eva Mendes' too-hot for TV ad that debuted last year). In fact, that latest denim-clad campaign, which focuses on a variety of group sex scenarios all taking place on a nondescript couch, “is so provocative it initially was banned from even late-night cable TV,” says WWD.
