I was covering myself... but I love 'Flaunt.' I think their artwork is some of the best artwork out there as far as photography is concerned, so I took it off. I felt really comfortable, it was fun. There's something really liberating about it." She also appeared nude in an ad for Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession perfume. In dec. 2007 (13 years ago), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) used a nude photo (wallpaper) of Mendes for their anti-fur campaign alongside the tagline "Fur? I'd rather go naked."
