This magnetic piece of contemporary fashion photography captures a historic creative intersection directed by the renowned artistic duo Hunter & Gatti (2010–2023). Produced in an elite editorial collaboration with Louis Vuitton, legendary stylist Carine Roitfeld, and Madame Figaro, the portrait stars Belgian musical powerhouse Lous and the Yakuza clad in a timeless look by Nicolas Ghesquière, exploring fluid intersections of past and future. The work transcends traditional portraiture through a hands-on intervention of acrylic paints and oil wax; the layered dots serve as a visual bridge connecting the photographic eye with raw physical brushwork.
This is a project together with Louis Vuitton and the stylist Carine Roitfeld and Madame Figaro, starring the Belgian singer Lous and the Yakuza. All the looks Lous is wearing are designed by Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton, for his part, is interested in the uncertain ground between the past, present, and future. “I like the figure of a vampire who travels through the ages, adapting to dress codes of the era”. Hunter & Gatti celebrates with color the powerful energy of Lous and The Yakuza. The “dots” symbolize the presence of the artist's photography eye and mind coming to grips with the world via an extended hand and brush beyond the photography.

This artwork was created by the artistic duo Hunter & Gatti (2010–2023). These works are part of the archive managed and exhibited by Cristian Hunter.
Cristian Hunter’s work starts from that belief. His photographs —created over a solid international career— are not mere documents, but open territories where painting, texture, and gesture expand photography into new dimensions of meaning. Hunter explores how an image can shift in meaning over time—how context, memory, and manual intervention can transform what was once captured into something newly revealed. Each piece is an invitation to look again, to uncover what lies beneath the visible. Guided by the premise that “nothing stays still,” he works from his personal archive, reinterpreting it, giving new life to what was once lived, and breaking the linear flow between past and present. His lens has captured renowned figures such as Pharrell Williams, Penélope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, Ewan McGregor, Lalisa Manoban, Adria Arjona, and Bruno Mars, among many others. Yet his focus goes beyond portraiture—what truly interests him is what remains when the image stops being literal and begins to emerge as a living object. His current body of work includes both new pieces and selected artworks from the artistic legacy of Hunter & Gatti, which he now manages. These are duly credited as “ created by Hunter & Gatti,” presented alongside his personal practice and establishing a dialogue between history, transformation, and contemporary gaze. His work has been exhibited in cities such as Barcelona, New York, and Miami, and reflects a visual practice grounded in experience, exploration, and ongoing evolution.
