>>942 pffft I'm not laughing at the clothes, I'm laughing at his terrible execution as model. I worked in fashion, do people think that models dress like they do on the catwalk? They do not, but it's their job to make clothes interesting when they wear them. The photoshoot looks ridiculous because TH doesn't have the features and charisma for it and because of what he did this summer, how he dresses every day is beyond the point. In every day talk he hardly speaks like in a Shakespearian play, would that be a good excuse not to play a Shakespearian character well? No.

Did his stans really think that just because he presented an award at the Emmys the whole world would forget about TayTo? It's going to take a while for the general public to forget, because outside his fans, the rest of the world only knows him for Loki and Swift.

I agree with all of this. He is not a great model, the styling is all wrong for him, and yes he does look like a twink. I am also however laughing at some of the clothes. We all know that some of the fashion in adverts or on the catwalk is more directional than many people would wear. Equally there is a line between directional and hideous. Man Mary Janes with a huge carbuncle of a buckle, worn with white tights, are over that line in my view.

And that's the thing. IN MY VIEW. Every person is entitled to say where they think that line is, whether or not they ever buy or wear high fashion. It's called freedom of thought. These photos are out there in public and they speak (or not) to every member of the public. You can't put something out there and then deny people the right to criticise it because it is supposedly aimed at someone else, someone richer and with a special understanding of fashion that the rest of us lack. What codswallop. Not to mention being the same old crap that that stupid arrogant cow peddles every damn time a dispute arises. You can say what you like as long as you agree with her and don't dare ever to criticise the special snowflake for anything he does. Well, she can stick it where the sun don't shine.

>>947 You are right and I very much doubt Gucci's designer would mind the jokes, because it'd mean the focus is on the product. What people forget is that an ad, be it a spread, a commercial or even a catwalk is first of all supposed to inspire desire. Like with film costumes, models are playing a part for a purpose. If with this spread, all people can think of is TayTo and TH's awkwardness, it hardly has to do with the clothes, as absurd as some items are. And it hardly classifies as hate.

Last year's GQ spread with TH was nice and suitable for him. It also conveyed that desire that made you wish to see men dressed up like that, or for men to own suits like those. http://www.gq.com/gallery/tom-hiddleston-suit-photos

But while it wouldn't have made him look ridiculous, jokes would have happened anyway. As it would have happened with a new jaguar commercial.
