Tom Ford, the wunderkind designer who saved Gucci from going bankrupt way back when, is credited as being one of the most influential fashion gods of the last decade. He’s done a lot of things, including becoming creative director of Yves Saint Laurent a few years ago, and being named best International Designer at the first VH1/Vogue Awards in New York in 2000.

He claims to sleep about 3 hours a night, is quoted as saying things like, “The YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) woman might tie her boyfriend up and drip hot wax on him before they have sex, for instance. The Gucci woman is just going to have sex”, and originally went to school to be an actor.

Oh yeah, he also sells perfume by photographing it in between a naked woman’s thighs.

Deciding that more dudes would buy his new Tom Ford For Men (creative name choice, there) cologne if it was somehow attached to a nude, glistening female form, Ford choose to push the envelope of taste in his new ad campaign.

If you’re old enough to see the ads, and don’t mind feeling vaguely creepy and voyeuristic, you can catch glimpses of the cologne pushed between naked cleavage and scarcely covering a bare vajayjay.

I think it’s pretty damn tacky, and want to say that slutty, tasteless advertising won’t get people to buy his scent…but who am I kidding?

This is America. Naked people rule.
