I actually love that old YSL ad. I think it's incredibly beautiful, shocking yes, but done in as tasteful a way as possible given that it's a naked male.

To me there's nothing vulgar about it because there's nothing particularly sexual about it. If the pose were more assertive or sexualized, then maybe it would cross into vulgar territory, but as it is it's no different than classical Greek sculptures of nude men.

To me it's more sensual than sexual.

I LOVE THIS AD. It's an amazing play on the painting Dejuener Sur L'herbe. Only it's the woman who is clothed now. I'm sure it was just as controversial when it came out as the original painting was when it was prouduced, ESPECIALLY because it goes COMPLETELY against the male gaze of postmodernity.

^I agree, I love the concept of the ad. It's done so well too. Kate's slight smirk, the naked males' paleness in contrast with Kate pink complexion. The apples even... so many artistic and literary references to capture my little English major heart.

^^^ I have no problem with penis. <3 the YSL ad.

p.s. uncut = natural + beautiful.

Not sure either, but I guess the references come from riding the black horse, the gnomes in the shop window with the red hats pointed as devil signs, and well.....i don't know what else to be honest. I'm curious though so if anyone can interpret it I would surely appreciate it.

Neither do I.

Funny, that we don't have comments about how vulgar all the nude photos of female models are (Kate Moss comes to mind for one).

 

[aaron95]

hahaha well yeah kate moss naked is kind of vulgar hahaha

 

[katherine]

Vulgar? Totally. I think it's quite clever though and that is Tom Ford for you.

 

[daniellat]

[aaron95]

[lollicandy]

Are those really genuine CK adverts?? Uhh.....is this like pedo-chic??

I've never even heard of this! No wonder it was banned.

 

[papa_levante]

Ugh, pedophilic for sure. Awful and inappropriate. (But the first guy did a good acting job.)

 

[Northern Star]

CK ad = The bloke's voice is really offputting. Not impressed.
