The team at Givenchy’s design studio are a multicultural and unique troupe – hardly a cookie-cutter set of born and bred Parisians. Hailing from across the world, they have come together to dedicate themselves to the realisation of the Givenchy aesthetic under Riccardo Tisci’s direction, as one of, if not the most integral teams in the company.

Demonstrating their cohesive and aligned visions, the team formed ‘The Perfect Assistant’ for A#8, a fusion of different components of their own faces photographed by Krista Boggs and brought together digitally by Sebastien Frey. The result is an androgynous character with hair pulled back off the face, with a scattering of light stubble on chin and cheek, and a striking mix of features that forms an altogether heavy-set whole – essentially, a global Givenchy face.

The features of ‘The Perfect Assistant’ are:

HAIR: Melody – United Kingdom
RIGHT EYE: Sebastien- Germany-Vietnam
LEFT EYE: Susanna – Portugal
NOSE: Andrew – United Kingdom
LIPS: Kiki – Malaysia
CHIN: Salvatore – Italy
EAR: Alexis – France
