"When sex goes out of business, so do we." Tom Ford poses with RealDolls (I presume) to hawk his new fragrance and cosmetics line. I wonder how this is gonna fly with my White Linen-drenched grandma and her mah jongg comadres...
Since when has fashion photography not been closely cross-pollinated with fetish photography?

Helmut Newton, if not pioneered the concept (Steven Klein was obviously paying homage to him in this shoot), certainly explored its limits. I think this campaign does take a fresh angle.

But it's nothing Andy Warhol hadn't already embraced circa 1968: "Then gradually I begin to grasp what Andy was trying to say with all his babble about machines and sex. Where sex has turned repulsive and inhuman, machine sex beckons alluringly. Only in telephone sex, robot sex, computer sex is there escape from ugliness and cruelty. Machine sex is the only kind left that is uncontaminated, antiseptic, clean, even a little mysterious..." --- Ultra Violet

Hmm, sounds like a perfume... antiseptic, clean, a little mysterious.

Plus ca change...

I love Tom Ford. He's so upfront about who he is and what he does.
