The Advertising Standards Authority, which enforces advertising codes in the U.K., announced today that it was partially reversing its ban on Calvin Klein ads that feature singer FKA twigs wearing nothing but an opened button-down shirt. The images from the campaign, which also feature Kendall Jenner topless with her arms folded, were initially banned outright in January, but today the ASA revised their decision to allow the photo campaign to be displayed in places where children wouldn’t be able to see it. Twigs took to Instagram to denounce the ASA’s initial decision to ban the campaign at the time, saying in part, “in light of reviewing other campaigns past and current of this nature, i can’t help but feel there are some double standards here. I do not see the ‘stereotypical sexual object’ that they have labelled me.” The ASA’s new ruling stipulates that the singer’s partially nude image “must not appear again as a poster in an untargeted medium.”
