" Master provocateur Tom Ford showed penis-shaped crosses\u2014amongst other things, of course\u2014at his recent spring/summer 2015 presentation in London, The Telegraph reports. Critics are calling this a blunder, or at best, a joke, but we think something much smarter may be afoot. Sure, Ford is known for a wicked sense of humor, but he&amp;#039;s also the renaissance man who remade Gucci, directed a great debut film, and seems to have invented his own health serum that has him looking a good 20 years younger than the 52 on his passport.   Ancient Roman Bronze Winged Phallus Pendant ($985) by Ancient Art International, antiquitiesinc.com  This fashionable penis will likely retail for, say, $6,000, which has us thinking that Ford&amp;#039;s cross is more likely to be an allusion to the phallic fascinus charms ancient Romans wore, than merely a dick joke. Sure, it&amp;#039;s still a dick joke in that case, but one played for eggheads instead of goofballs. Either way, if Ford&amp;#039;s cross isn&amp;#039;t your thing or if it&amp;#039;s out of your price range, you can actually buy an authentic Roman fascinus for yourself here.
