TL;DR Summary

A Calvin Klein ad featuring FKA twigs has been banned in the UK for presenting the singer as a "stereotypical sexual object," sparking a debate on objectification and double standards in advertising. FKA twigs defended the campaign, stating that it reflected her as a woman and artist, while Calvin Klein argued that the ads did not overly sexualize the singer or model Kendall Jenner. The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the FKA twigs ad focused on her body rather than the clothing being advertised, deeming it "irresponsible," and instructed Calvin Klein to ensure future ads don't objectify women.
