\n\tA British advertising standards authority has partially reversed a controversial decision banning a Calvin Klein advertisement featuring singer\/dancer FKA Twigs<\/a>. According to the BBC<\/a><\/em>, after the performer criticized the Advertising Standards Authority for \u201cdouble standards\u201d in claiming the image of the partially nude artist presented her as a \u201cstereotypical sexual object,\u201d the agency announced that it had rolled back portions of the ban.<\/p>\n \n\tThe statement from the ASA said that after a review the agency reversed the original decision, concluding that the image was not sexually explicit. In January, the ASA blocked the ad because, it said at the time, it \u201cplaced viewers focus on the model\u2019s body rather than on the clothing being advertised.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tThough the ASA walked back the total embargo, it remains banned from display in places where children might see it. The BBC reported that the ASA launched an investigation into the ad in response to two complaints about the poster, in which FKA Twigs posed wearing a shirt that only partially covered her body, exposing the side of one buttock and a small portion of one breast<\/a> with the tagline \u201cCalvins or nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe original ban came around the time when a viral CK underwear ad featuring The Bear<\/em> star Jeremy Allen White drew worldwide attention for a nearly nude image of the actor in just a pair of tight white briefs. The BBC also reported at the time that the ASA said it had received three complaints<\/a> about the Jeremy Allen White adds, one related to a magazine ad and two about a TV version, though those ads did not appear to be the subject of any restrictions.<\/p>\n
