FKA Twigs Denounces U.K. Ban of Her Calvin Klein Ad


FKA Twigs shared a statement in response to news that her Calvin Klein ad is banned in the U.K. for portraying her as a ‘sexual object’

In an official statement about the ruling, ASA explained that the organization received “two complaints” that the black-and-white promotional images — which also featured Twigs in a bra and jeans — were “overly sexualized, offensive and irresponsible … because they objectified women.” While wearing underwear out and about may seem impractical, Hollywood’s It Girls including Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Jodie Turner-Smith and more have flawlessly pulled it off — while making it look chic. Twigs went on to state, “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.”
