"Historically, [Gucci] is Sophia Loren. Yves Saint Laurent is Catherine Deneuve. They're both sexy. It's just that Gucci is a little more obvious than Saint Laurent. The YSL 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."
As much as I respect Ford as an icon in the fashion world, his most recent projects rely so heavily on explicit shock appeal, that they seem more seedy than sexy. Take a look at the ads for his new eyewear line, where he selected porn stars to be his models (that pic above is selling sunglasses) There is absolutely nothing wrong with nudity, but his obsession seems to more about pornography than fashion.
From December's German GQ:


Shots from Ford's femme-bot/boy toy spread in W mag can be seen here. And he is currently finishing a stint as guest editor of Vanity Fair's (surprise!) all nude Hollywood issue.

I´m totally agree with you, sometime he seems to be obsessed with nudity, and not always nudity is equivalent to sexy or atractive.
