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

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."

Airlines Face Bans for Misleading Sustainability Ads

Advertisements for Air France, Lufthansa, and Etihad have been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for misleading consumers about the airlines' environmental credentials. The ads claimed commitments to protecting the environment and flying more sustainably, but the ASA found that the claims were not adequately substantiated. Air travel's high levels of CO2 and non-CO2 emissions contribute significantly to climate change, and the ASA stated that there are currently no initiatives or technologies in the aviation industry that can fully support absolute green claims. The airlines have been instructed not to run the ads again.
