FKA Twigs is taking a stand after the U.K.’s Advertising Standards Authority banned a photo from her 2023 Calvin Klein ad campaign.

The 36-year-old singer was one of several stars to feature in the campaign, which also included the likes of Kendall Jenner.

One of her photos featured her wearing nothing but a jacket. In its ruling, the ASA ruled that “The ad used nudity and centered on FKA Twigs’ physical features rather than the clothing, to the extent that it presented her as a stereotypical sexual object.” FKA Twigs took to social media to weigh in on the decision. Read FKA Twigs’ response… “i do not see the ‘stereotypical sexual object’ that they have labelled me.

i see a beautiful strong woman of colour whose incredible body has overcome more pain than you can imagine,” the hitmaker wrote on Instagram, where she re-posted the controversial photo.
