Tom Ford's most controversial fashion moments of all-time, including a gold-plated penis necklace, declining to dress the First Lady and more...
In what is arguably Gucci's most controversial ad, Ford famously and personally shaved a"G" into a model's pubic hair for a 2004 image .
The ad was quickly banned, but helped Ford establish his moniker as the"King of Sex," one he fully embraced. ."Sensuality and sexuality is what drives so much."In 2014, Ford courted controversy when he added $800 gold plated necklaces to his line of jewelry, called the"penis pendant" necklace. The outcry was not over the price, but the pendant's alleged resemblance to a crucifix, which the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights took issue with.
Oh, and he prefers not to be photographed during the day, telling the New York Times,"I don't like the middle of the day. Take a picture at noon, anywhere in the world. You're going to look like hell — hell. Everybody looks like hell. Unless you're 18, maybe, or under. Even then you don't look your best. I like daylight, but not to go out in public.
: "If I was ever going to become a good designer, I had to leave America. My own culture was inhibiting me. Too much style in America is tacky. It's looked down upon to be too stylish. Europeans, however, appreciate style." Ford, who was born in Texas, sort of this addressed his previous sentiments about North American fashion on stage at the 2019 CFDA Awards, saying,"I've spent most of my career living and working in Europe, but I am an American fashion designer at heart."
