On Tuesday, April 2, legendary skater turned actor Harold Hunter would’ve turned 50-years-old. Although he’s not here to celebrate such a milestone with us, famed photographer Jonathan Mannion is ensuring his legacy continues on.
According to Hypebeast, Mannion took to the streets of New York City to plaster the likeness of Hunter throughout Downtown Manhattan using never-before-seen photos he took with Hunter during their skate sessions back in 1997. While many of today’s youth may be unfamiliar with the Kids actor (classic film), Mannion included a QR code that would inform onlookers of his legacy and how he utilized skateboarding to positively impact his community.
For better or worse you have to appreciate technology these days.
Per Hypebeast:
Outside his celebrated history with Zoo York, Hunter was cherished for his exuberant and welcoming personality that transcended the world of skateboarding, leading to a number of modeling and acting roles during the ’90s, including campaigns with Tommy Hilfiger and Larry Clark’s seminal film, Kids(1995). “Harold’s skateboard was just a vehicle,” said actor Rosario Dawson, who grew up in the same neighborhood as the skater, in a past interview. “He became famous for his personality and his spirit. If anybody came to New York, he would take them in and show them the city.” Hunter was tragically found dead in the Manhattan housing project he grew up in on February 17, 2006, from a heart attack. He was 31.
“It is for all of these insights gained that day about Harold’s spirit that I have chosen to hold him as high as possible on what would have been his 50th Birthday, in order to begin to share deeper layers of his humanity,” said Mannion in a release regarding the partnership. “Crying tears from infectious laughter, calmer introspective moments, pure connection with community as he interacted with anyone who he encountered… they don’t make them like Harold anymore,” Mannion added.
Here’s to hoping that Mannion’s tribute to Hunter inspires a few souls to follow suit one way or another. According to Mannion, the Harold Hunter Foundation helped make his tribute possible.

Carpenter was more than happy to join the growing list of musicians who’ve starred in the lifestyle brand’s campaigns including Usher, Lana Del Rey (who had a Valentine’s Day collection) and Nelly Furtado (who offered personal picks).
“I loved the femininity of the whole creative,” she said in a press statement. “I feel very excited SKIMS chose me to be the face of this campaign as I’ve always been a fan of the brand.”
As a longtime fan of the lingerie brand, she also noted which pieces were her most favorite.
“I love both collections, especially the delicacy of the Stretch Lace and the second-skin feel of Fits Everybody,” she said. “Every piece I wore was super flattering and so comfortable, which of course is always a given with SKIMS!”
The campaign video features nods to the ’90s as Carpenter poses in various pieces from the lingerie collection in a room filled with posters and stacks of CDs evoking some major nostalgia.
