Gispert was born in New Jersey, and went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Fine Art at Yale University before settling into his own studio in Brooklyn. Over the years he has produced films and sculptures, but his photography is the standout work within his resume.

The rich and colorful interiors are a jolting juxtaposition to the stark and serene backdrops seen through the windows, and this artistic touch draws the viewer to concentrate on the vehicle’s upgraded upholstery, while pondering the title of the show, Decepcion.

Louis Vuitton
A fashion show is like a great moment in a lifetime. Exciting, stressful, tiring and often extraordinary, it has the power to relax in an instant. For the first time at Louis Vuitton, I’m in the forefront . This is the most valuable place to explore this new collection Fall / Winer 11-12. I’m at home, in the living room, quietly installed on the sofa.
The light dims, the grooms come forward and lifts open the doors of a great and sublime parade. The elegance embodies the name of Louis Vuitton and the creations for this winter season can only seduce us.
Both military and “femme fatale”, we find figures dressed in gray, black, white, green, red. The luxury of this collection is interpreted in the choice of the materials, style and development of the LV monogram. The music is soft and in the darkness, I choose the viewing angle to see the parade. Marc decrypts the voice of the show and the outfits. I’m not there and yet I’m living this extraordinary moment with passion.
