MALUMA: The Golden Boy is Crossing Over

Pamela Hanson is behind the lense with Colombian artist Maluma and L’Officiel Hommes USA to deliver a relaxed and stylish editorial.

After releasing two albums within the past year, Maluma is continuing his Papi Juancho Tour and making his Hollywood debut starring opposite Jennifer Lopez in Marry Me.

On his Tour: “I feel like this tour is going to be insane. Kim Jones and the Dior team will be coming to design about 20 looks for the tour. He’s one of the greatest in the industry. I have a great relationship with him too, and it’s not only about working together. We have a friendship. He’s amazing not only as a designer, but as a human.”

On his Hollywood debut: “I got nervous. I was there with Owen Wilson, too. That was my first movie, and it was a Hollywood movie, you know? When I went to the set for the first time, I felt that I was made for it. And well, working with Owen Wilson was difficult because he’s a big, big actor. But the first scene when we saw each other he was like, Wow, man, you’re doing amazing. For me, that was everything to calm my nerves. It was a beautiful experience working with Jennifer Lopez—she’s such a master. She’s got a lot of discipline. She loves having everything on point. I learned a lot about her. I’m not tired of talking about Marry Me, because it’s one of the biggest dreams I’ve had in my life.”

Ryan Young was enlisted to style the star and brings pieces from Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Tiffany & Co., Salvatore Ferragamo, Commission, Manolo Blahnik, Gucci, Brioni, Richard Mille, Berluti, Ermenegildo Zegna, J.J. Hat Center, Tom Ford, John Lobb, Quay x Maluma.
