When I first came across Tom Ford's work I used to find it quite offensive. The nudity did'nt bother me, as I am a huge fan of Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin, who I think Ford has taken a lot of inspiration from. I didn't like how he portrayed the female model, but really he is using the power of the female form to sell. There is a lot of sexual reference in his images, but at the end of the day 'sex sells.' I have found myslef liking his photography more and more, it's sexy but still has that sophisticated style. The two things I think Tom Ford portrays as a male fashion icon.
