In June, Tom Ford, designer and provocateur, made weary fashion journalists in London for the men's shows perk up and do a double take at what was then-called a crucifix/penis necklace by writers. It was equal parts panned as obscene or inspired—a sly allusion to fascinus charms favored during the Roman empire. Though why anyone is shocked at this gold or silver bijoux from the man who gave us the Gucci G on pubic hair, we will never know.
