Moreal is a digital painter whose works feature the likes of such fashion icons as Jonathan Anderson and FKA Twigs.

A closer look at “Utopian Fantasy” reveals vivid artworks depicting three photorealist themes: earth, sky and sea. Moreal’s digital paintings are filled with remarkable details, drawing the viewers into a mythical and uncanny dimension.

It is in this context that Gucci’s latest apparel and accessories are showcased, becoming part of an extraordinary, highly visual narrative art directed by long-time collaborator Christopher Simmonds
