TL;DR Summary

FKA Twigs criticized the British advertising watchdog's decision to ban a Calvin Klein ad featuring her, denouncing "double standards" on Instagram. The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the ad presented her as a "stereotypical sexual object" and could not be shown in Britain, but FKA Twigs pushed back, stating that she sees herself as a "beautiful strong woman of colour" and not the label given to her.
