Surrounded by an international creative jetset of young and old, Riccardo Tisci has been blessed with the ecletic mix of friends and contacts from his Italian heritage, British education at Central St Martins in London, and his time in Paris with Givenchy. Models, editors, painters, sculptors, photographers, stylists, journalists, actors and more are all a part of A#8, and the web of links between them can be uncovered with a little research or inner circle knowledge – but this aside, they have all come together ultimately to support Riccardo.
It is with this overlapping, dynamic artistic circle in mind that we present the collaboration of New York editor and photographer Magnus Berger with his girlfriend at the time Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Julia is the daughter of Paris Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld, who was also featured in A#8 in a shot by Karl Lagerfeld.
Magnus has photographed Julia wearing nothing but the iconic gold chains of Givenchy’s Fall Winter 2008 ready-to-wear show, with multiple images layered together to create a shape-shifting effect, as Julia fades into the sepia background, her hair a matted mess and her kohled eyes staring out from different angles. Almost like a spirit painting or aura photograph, the image is haunting and dark, blurring the lines between fashion and art for a surrealist portrait.
