Skyscraper-Scaling Campaigns

The Karlie Kloss iCB Spring 2011 Ads Bring Fashion to New Heights

The Karlie Kloss iCB Spring 2011 ads touch the sky in a bright and playful campaign showcasing this season's energetic clothing line.

Against a backdrop of skyscrapers in the city of New York, Kloss is seen floating in the air with the city line just at her fingertips. Casual separates with a pop of color are featured in this collection of striped tees, vibrant leggings and trench coats. Single words describe the fresh and feminine line in each print ad, stating "daring," "sexy" and "brave." It's truly a look for downtown city-chic women. The bold style really brings spring fashion to new heights.

The Karlie Kloss iCB Spring 2011 campaign was photographed by Ryan McGinley with art direction by Doug Lloyd.
