The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the United Kingdom has banned a Calvin Klein advertisement featuring musician FKA twigs after receiving only two complaints. The regulatory body deemed the ad as objectifying women, portraying FKA twigs as a 'stereotypical sexual object.' FKA twigs responded to the ban, stating she does not see herself as the 'stereotypical sexual object' that the ASA has labeled her but rather 'a beautiful strong woman of color whose incredible body has overcome more pain than you can imagine.' The controversy has also highlighted perceived double standards in the industry, as a similar Calvin Klein campaign featuring Kendall Jenner received complaints but was ultimately ruled acceptable by the ASA.
FKA Twigs’s Calvin Klein ad was banned by UK regulators after receiving two (2) complaints. They also objected to Kendall Jenner’s ad, but it was deemed OK. ‘i do not see the ‘stereotypical sexual object’ that they have labelled me,’ Twigs responded. https://t.co/tkoIADeBJq
