FKA Twigs ‘Calvins or Nothing’ Calvin Klein Ad Ban Partially Reversed


FKA Twigs' 'Calvins or Nothing' ad -- banned by a UK advertising standards authority for 'objectifying' women -- has been partially reinstated.

The BBC reported that the ASA launched an investigation into the ad in response to two complaints about the poster, in which FKA Twigs posed wearing a shirt that only partially covered her body, exposing the side of one buttock and a small portion of one breast with the tagline “Calvins or nothing.” She continued, “in light of reviewing other campaigns past and current of this nature, i can’t help but feel there are some double standards here,” in the post that featured the banned black-and-white photo. “i am proud of my physicality and hold the art i create with my vessel to the standards of women like josephine baker, eartha kitt and grace jones who broke down barriers of what it looks like to be empowered and harness a unique embodied sensuality.”
