Homoerotic, gay pride, and celebration of sexuality are definitely the highlight of Nicola Formichetti’s Nicopanda with the Tom of Finland Foundation. The collaboration that launched in accordance with the NYC Pride LGBT March, accompanied with a look book that shows just how much the issue can be turned into a creative work of art, not only for gay men but also for anyone.

The collaboration may also be a visual realization of how the taboo-ness of something homoerotic that is usually deemed as a controversial subject can actually be poured into a creative framework and turned into an enjoyable piece of art. Perhaps the work may also be seen as a fresh new intake on what would normally be considered ‘graphic’ or ‘sensual’ in terms of fashion illustrations, since the featured patches and tees embracing erect men would definitely be an interesting new sight for the eyes.
