Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2008 Ad Campaign


I'd seen various shots from Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2008 ad campaign by Terry Richardson, but I hadn't seen the whole set. They're pretty impressively raunchy, including the full-frontal male nudity. (To wit: penises.) Not long ago, Ford addressed the fact that penises outside of porn remain one of the last taboos--at least here in America.

"Imagine … if our suits were entirely designed to show off our penises. Imagine if contemporary fashion demanded that you left your cock hanging outside your trousers, with perhaps just the head trussed up in a tiny pouch like a dick bra. Everyone would see our cocks all the time..."

Dick bra, anyone?
