FKA twigs has responded after a Calvin Klein advert was banned for presenting her as a "stereotypical sexual object". A UK regulator found the poster - featuring the singer just wearing a denim shirt - was likely to cause serious offence by objectifying women. Writing on Instagram, she suggested the ban - which came after a campaign starring actor Jeremy Allen White went viral - showed "double standards". The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said its ruling was clear. In the advert, FKA was wearing a denim shirt drawn halfway around her body, showing the side of her buttocks and half of one breast. Above her, text read: "Calvins or nothing". The ASA found the image "placed viewers' focus on the model's body rather than on the clothing being advertised". By focusing on her "physical features", it continued, it felt the advert had "presented her as a stereotypical sexual object". In her response, FKA twigs wrote: "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." www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-67938624

I saw her live at Heaven night club a few years back. Was in superb voice.

It’s the piece of cloth being used to partially cover her body.

It’s the piece of cloth being used to partially cover her body. Oh yeah, that. Didn't even notice.

They didn’t airbrush her much.
