FKA twigs' Calvin Klein Ad Banned in UK for Sexual Objectification

TL;DR Summary
A Calvin Klein ad featuring FKA twigs has been banned in the UK for objectifying women, with the Advertising Standards Authority deeming it "likely to cause serious offence" by focusing on the model's body rather than the clothing being advertised. Despite Calvin Klein's argument that the ad showed an "empowered" woman, the regulator ruled that it "overly sexualised" twigs and presented her as a "stereotypical sexual object." This comes after the ASA rejected complaints about similar ads featuring Kendall Jenner, concluding they did not portray her as a "sexual object."
