A Calvin Klein advert featuring a trans man posing in a sports bra has sparked furious backlash after going viral online.
In a promotional snap shared by the brand, who have long been known for their sultry and sexy ads featuring toned topless models, Bappie Kortram can be seen wearing a pair of jeans and a sports bra.
Bappie, who is from the Netherlands, is represented by a number of modelling agencies around the world including British Zebedee Talent, who describe him as 'a trans man who has not had top surgery yet.'
The advert, which was initially shared as part of the Calvin Klein Pride 2022 Campaign, went viral this week after it was reposted on Twitter by Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis, who posted: 'Calvin Klein wants to go broke.'
Images from the same shoot are still being used on Calvin Klein's British website.
Other users were stunned by the advert, with one writing: 'Disgusting and I love Calvin Klein jeans. This is not a great ad for his clothes at all. Stop bowing down to all these demands, as this will only hurt your brand in the long run.'
