Tom Ford
Tom Ford is an American fashion designer and seller of the Tom Ford brand of menswear and accessories. Above, Ford, in the suit, buffs the ass of model Colton Haynes for a photo shoot.
Ford worked as a designer at Gucci, and when Gucci acquired Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) in 1999, Ford became the creative director at YSL. He was responsible for the famous full-frontal ad for the YSL fragrance M7, above, featuring martial arts champion Samuel de Cubber.

Here's another version of the ad, in which de Cubber is even more visible.
I recently found this alternative version of the ad for M7, featuring another model whose name I do not know.
Ford left Gucci/YSL and launched his own Tom Ford line of menswear, beauty, eyewear and accessories in 2006. His products included the fragrance Tom Ford for Men, featured in the ad above. In case you hadn't guessed, Tom Ford is gay, and this ad is obviously aimed at gay men.

His fragrance Neroli Portofino came out in 2011, with more naked ads.

Venfield 8 produced this satire of a Neroli Portofino ad, but the joke may be on Venfield 8, because given Tom Ford's previous nude ads, it looks like just the sort of ad that Ford would approve.

In 2014, Tom Ford came out with this penis necklace pendant. It was quickly condemned by the Catholic League for its resemblance to a cross, but Ford dismissed the critics, saying they could imagine whatever they wanted.

Tom Ford was featured in Out magazine in 2007. We end with this photo from the magazine of Ford, at left, snapping a towel at two other guys.

fantastic!!! what a bold advertising!
Terrific ads! I liked the first image best.
Were those ads that showed penises actually published in magazines for public viewing? Those shots of the men sitting with their penises on full view, are BEAUTIFUL.
@Gerald - The Venfield 8 ad is a satire, but the other ads were actually published. The M7 ad was published in the French edition of Vogue, as well as other British and American fashion magazines.
I think M7 ad by inspired by Yves Saint Laurent's ad nude photo
Those magazines that published this ad are to be commended for their very healthy attitude.
