Tom Ford For Men




Tom Ford's collaboration with Terry Richardson has produced these new ads for his men's fragrance.
I'm so blown away by its bravery that I don't know whether I like them or not. I wonder what we will think of the campaign over time, will we think its provocative and ground breaking in a Helmut Newton/ Guy Bourdin way or has it stepped over the mark and gone into tacky territory? At the moment I just cant decide.

From what I know of Terry Richardson, he has never made any attempt to keep his art/design chaste or tasteful. I totally admire his gall and have never been a fan of gentility, more an advocate of "genitality" in this case.

I find it very interesting. I totally agree with your sentiments. I like it but also find it incredibly vulgar and really sexuality is all about the alure, not blatant sex.

We could have a big hard cock or a woman pushing a bottle up her vagina and it's sexual, but it that sexy? Personally I dont think so.

Good blog!
