Tom Ford’s kimono-inspired Spring\/Summer 2003 collection<\/a> for Gucci was so sex-ay! I always wanted one of the printed mini dresses. In case you’re looking for a gift for me, one of the dresses has turned up on 1stdibs.com.<\/p>\n

The cut-out back reminds me of back of the Fiorucci dress<\/a> I loved so much in the ’80s.<\/p>\n

\nHere’s how the Gucci dress looked on the runway.<\/p>\n

That dress looks VERY mini on model Frankie Rayder<\/a>, but I’m 6″ shorter than her so I’m confident the dress would cover my panties, which is a quality I like in a dress these days. I didn’t always care about that kind of thing. Some of my old skirts didn’t even show up in photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was a controversial ad associated with this Gucci collection. Remember what NSFW means?<\/p>\n

The ad showed model Carmen Kass pulling her panties down to reveal Gucci’s trademark “G” shaved into her pubic hair.<\/p>\n

The image, shot by Mario Testino and published in the February 2003 issue of British Vogue, drew the ire of the tabloid press<\/a> (gotta love how the sleaziest publications suddenly cry “offensive” and “sexist” when it suits them), but the advertising watchdog organization declined to ban the ad<\/a>. I can’t remember what I thought of it at the time, but looking at it now, I think, “Meh. It’s just hair. I’ve seen worse on USAir’s Twitter feed<\/a>.” That’s not to say that Tom Ford has never bothered me with unnecessary nudity. He has, though still not as much as the naked man I saw on the street one winter night. Read all about that in this 2009 post<\/a>. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
