ASA Reverses Ban on FKA Twigs' Calvin Klein Ad

The Advertising Standards Authority has overturned its previous decision, stating the ad does not objectify the artist.

The ASA initially banned the Calvin Klein ad featuring FKA Twigs, deeming it 'overly sexualised' and objectifying.
Following public backlash and a review, the ASA has reversed its decision, acknowledging the ad as not sexually explicit.
FKA Twigs defended the ad, highlighting her portrayal as a 'beautiful strong woman of colour' and not a sexual object.
Despite the reversal, the ASA maintains the ad's overtly sexual nature, keeping it banned in untargeted mediums accessible by minors.
The decision has sparked discussions on censorship, double standards, and the portrayal of women in advertising.
