Fashion God, Tom Ford is getting ready for his Spring 18 show in New York. His inspiration for the show, according to NY Mag is, well...himself.

“I’m seeing a lot of collections I did in the ’90s referenced by other designers, and I look at that and I say, 'How interesting, maybe I should remember what it was that I was all about and go back.' That’s what this September’s show will be about. I hope that I’m returning to what I’ve always believed in, but in a new way. "

"I get the criticism...about the objectification of women. I’ve objectified men just as much in my career. I put that perfume bottle between a woman’s breasts, but I also put it between a guy’s butt cheeks, but [few] would accept that because our culture is more comfortable with the objectification of women to sell products than it is with the objectification of men to sell products. I’m for equal-opportunity objectification."

"Oh my God, we’ve gotten so prudish. We’ve gone in reverse. We’ve become more extreme because now on television you can see full-frontal male nudity. Like, all the time. And the language! The word fuck, for example, is part of modern parlance. It really does represent where we are culturally. With porn so accessible, what adult can really say she’s freaked out by seeing a penis on television? So even as television and language go forward, you can still not show a woman's nipple in many magazines. You can show a breast, but not a nipple!"
