BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – A 2022 Calvin Klein ad featuring Bappie Kortram, a trans man in a sports bra who had not had top surgery at the time of the photo, has gone viral and left some wondering if the company could be facing the trouble that Budweiser endured after the Dylan Mulvaney controversy.
On Instagram, Kortram wrote of the modeling experience, thanking the company and saying the photo shoot “showcases unapologetic fat love, fat pride, fat cis bodies, fat trans bodies, fat joy.”
An executive at Budweiser tweeted, “If the same thing that happen to us happens to them, that fashion designing company may have to rename themselves, Calvin ‘Decline.’”
