Less skin, more tease: Fashion’s changing relationship with sex appeal

No one in fashion did sexy with quite the same gusto and lasciviousness as Tom Ford in his heyday: carving logos in pubic hair for his Gucci advertisements; introducing the high-fashion G-string.

So it’s not really a surprise that Haider Ackermann, Ford’s successor at his namesake brand, has embraced the ethos – though Ackermann’s take on titillation leans more toward seduction and away from smut.

随着性感着装日益普遍，设计师们正在寻找新的方式，通过微妙的暗示、感性的表达和巧妙的暗示，重新诠释诱惑的艺术。图片：汤姆·福特

在时尚界，没有人能像汤姆·福特在其鼎盛时期那样，以如此热情和淫荡的方式诠释性感：他为古驰广告在阴毛上雕刻标志；推出了高级时装丁字裤。

因此，福特的继任者海德·阿克曼（Haider Ackermann）在其同名品牌中秉持这种理念也就不足为奇了——尽管阿克曼对挑逗的理解更倾向于诱惑而非低俗。
