The visual universe of Tom of Finland, whose real name was Touko Laaksonen, is well known by everyone. His images are icons of the homosexual imaginary and authentic works of homoerotic art in the field of illustration. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world and he is considered one of the most famous and respected Finnish visual artists of all time. Touko's world is populated with attractive male characters in suggestive attitudes of seduction or clearly sexual. The presence of uniforms, boots and other military accessories, reminiscent of his time in the Finnish Navy for 4 years, inaugurates an aesthetic trend that would be followed by other creators such as Fassbinder.
Finlayson, a pioneer textile company in Finland since 1820, has taken a turn in its production when it was acquired in June of this year by three visionaries dedicated to create a new and bold product line. It is an exclusive and unprecedented collection in honor of the artist Tom of Finland and has been created in close collaboration with the Tom of Finland Foundation based in Los Angeles. The collection is centered around two designs, titled "Men" and "Face to Face" and includes satin comforter covers for single and double bed, pillow cases, hand and bath towels, as well as a bag of cloth. It is expected that the range of products will be extended throughout the 2015 with the incorporation of new designs and articles, starting with kitchen textiles.
We can not but congratulate ourselves on such original initiatives, which also imply a message of respect and tolerance for the whole world. Therefore, from Gayles.tv we make this recommendation if you still have not thought about the gifts for this Christmas.
Finlayson products are available in the international online store of the collection (www.byfinlayson.com) as well as in the company's main online store (www.finlaysonshop.com. In addition, they will soon be on sale in leading stores across the country.
