On The Campaign Trail w/ Tom Ford

**WARNING: SEXUALLY EXPLICIT PHOTOGRAPHS**

As our first ad campaign feature, we would like to bring you Tom Ford S/S 2008.

Tom Ford has had a whirlwind career. After stepping down from Gucci Group in 2003 to focus on his own signature label that shares his name, he's been downright controversial. Most conservatives hate him and what he stands for. And that simply is a world where we celebrate ourselves. A non-censored society. Ford has set out to do just that with his S/S 2008 ad campaign in which he features tons on nude models interacting in ritual habits carried out around the world, but with just a dash of voyeurism. For example, the couple on the park bench that look to be sharing a highly intimate moment, or the woman who has caught a gentleman off guard with her bold flirtation. Ford doesn't want people to see the indecency in this campaign, rather he wants people to see it as the world should be. Without censorship.

However, we do understand not everyone feels the same way as Ford. In this manner we would like to take to our readers, what do you think? Has he gone too far? Are the adds to racy? Lude? Pornographic? Give us your opinions

Tom Ford is a awesome designer.....his menswear along with Stacy Adams are my favorites....I really don't have a problem with the pictures.....because like a man in the wrestling business says "Controversy creates cash"......his ads are worldwide attention and he is cashing off it....So don't hate the player hate the game.....;)
