Nude Kate Moss Stops Tourists for Calvin Klein

Calvin Klein is once again using Kate Moss’s image on billboards, as is jeweler David Yurman. Currently, the model happens to appear both topless and bottomless on a pair of billboards just north of Houston in New York City.

The Calvin Klein billboard is from the same campaign that angered mosque-goers on East 11th Street over the summer, Media Bistro points out.

A gas station attendant who works across the street from the billboard is quoted as saying that tourists stop and stare when they come up from underground after getting off the subway.
Moss appears without pants on the Yurman billboard which towers over a parking lot nearby.
