Finnish artist Touko Valio Laaksonen, known as Tom of Finland, is known for his homoerotic and frequently provocative work. Diesel’s artistic director Nicola Formichetti says he has always admired the artist’s work, and two will have now collaborated for the first time on a collection for Formichetti’s Nicopanda line.
 
Proceeds from the Nicopanda x Tom of Finland collection will benefit the Tom of Finland Foundation. Based in Los Angeles, the foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting erotic art.

The collection features hoodies, t-shirts, baseball caps, bomber jackets and more, with the pieces intended to be worn by people of all genders. Formichetti shot a campaign promoting the collection, which features slogans like “Come to Daddy” and doesn’t shy away from depicting erect penises and other homoerotic imagery. Formichetti will debut the collection alongside New York City Pride, a celebration Formichetti says is important to him.
 
The collection is available on the Nicopanda online shop. Prices range from $125 for tank tops, to $750 for a faux fur coat.
