The film was the brainchild of Madonna Badger, co-founder and chief creative officer at the New York agency. The highly respected ad exec joined Calvin Klein in 1990, where she created the Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss campaigns, launched CK One and then went on to found her own agency.

"If I said I never did it, I would be a liar," Badger told  about her motivation for the campaign.

The agency is clear that it wants to make a change, to "never objectify women again", which includes airbrushing pictures to the point of perfection.
