FKA twigs criticizes double standards surrounding Calvin Klein ad ban

FKA twigs has responded to the ban of a Calvin Klein advert featuring her, which was deemed offensive and objectifying by a UK regulator. The advert showed the singer wearing only a denim shirt, and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that it focused too much on her body rather than the clothing being advertised. FKA twigs took to Instagram to express her disagreement with the ruling, stating that she sees herself as a strong woman of color and does not view herself as a "stereotypical sexual object." She also mentioned the double standards she perceives in the banning of her advert compared to other campaigns. FKA twigs concluded by thanking Calvin Klein and the fashion photographers involved in the ad, and stating that she will not let her narrative be changed. Calvin Klein defended the advert, claiming it was similar to previous campaigns released in the UK. The ASA spokesperson responded to FKA's post by reiterating that the ruling was based on the ad objectifying a woman and being inappropriately targeted.
