Calvin Klein’s new campaigns have caused a real revolution on social networks. Jeremy Allen White, star of the moment, stays in his underwear and shows off palmetto to the liking of his followers in the men’s campaign – something that has been commented on and applauded ad nauseam on social networks, since his poses and physique have not passed unnoticed. However, the one starring singer FKA Twigs has been censored in the United Kingdom.
The reason, according to the British advertising self-regulation body, has banned the British singer’s recent advertisement because it considers that it “objectifies women” and turns her into a “sexual stereotype.” The advertisement in question shows the singer wearing a denim shirt that reveals part of her body, including areas such as her chest or hips, which are not completely visible.
A censorship that has already caused many users on social networks to criticize the position of the British organization for “double standards”, which has never treated the campaign starring the The Bear actor in the same way. What’s more, since its release there have been nothing but comments about the body of the actor, who recently released The Iron Claw and gave him back his physique as a boxer.
To add more fuel to the fire, the British organization has been accused of racism, since it did not make any notes with the lingerie campaign starring Kendall Jenner, the previous image of the lingerie collection and with photos similar to those of FKA Twigs. Only those of the artist, who is black, are “susceptible to seriously offending.”
The artist wanted to comment on the matter. She has done so through her social networks, from where she has respectfully commented on the agency’s decision, ensuring that she did not see at all that “stereotypical sexual object” that they seemed to see in the United Kingdom.
“I don’t see the ‘stereotypical sex object’ that I’ve been labeled with. I see a beautiful, strong woman of color whose incredible body has overcome more pain than you can imagine,” the artist writes through her Instagram account.
“In light of reviewing other past and current campaigns of this nature, I can’t help but feel there is a double standard here. So to be clear: I am proud of my physique,” ??she insists, explaining that in the campaign she was able to “express myself exactly how I wanted” and that, despite what happened, “I will not change my narrative.”
