Summary

Fashion’s dynamic duo。  Mario Testino’s tribute to his greatest muse
  Mario Testino is recognized as the ultimate fashion photographer of his generation but his pictures of Kate Moss transcend fashion。 The consequence of two decades of extraordinary friendship， and phenomenal glamor， this iconic collaboration is an intimate insight into the lives and minds of two of the world’s definitive style leaders。

Follow the journey of one of fashion’s most extraordinary friendships， from early days backstage at the shows to behind-the-scenes glimpses of the ground-breaking editorials they continue to produce for the world’s most respected magazines。 Many photographs have been chosen from Testino’s private archive and are published here for the first time。 

This book is Mario’s personal homage to his greatest muse: a young girl that captured his heart and eye with her beauty， humor and spirit， and whose image in his photographs has captured imaginations the world over。

Expensive but beautiful。 It’s a huge book。 Feels like your getting first edition prints。 Absolutely perfect for any Kate or Mario testino lover

reading is my hustle ，

Taschen art book publisher is the shit。 So much so that I checked out a book on the iconic Kate Moss。 Not much in the way of text but not a big deal since the photography is what this book is all about。

Some interesting pictures but I don't get how you would charge 50 pounds for this。 Some interesting pictures but I don't get how you would charge 50 pounds for this。 。。。more

Photographer Mario Testino has been at the height of the fashion game for quite some time。 One of his greatest subject for many years （and one that helped cement his reputation as the go-to guy in fashion） is/was Kate Moss。 Testino’s work with Moss over the years has created many memorable campaigns for each of them and is the subject of the latest softcover， trade edition of his work， simply titled “Kate Moss by Mario Testino。”Testino has been shooting Moss from the very beginnings of her caree Photographer Mario Testino has been at the height of the fashion game for quite some time。 One of his greatest subject for many years （and one that helped cement his reputation as the go-to guy in fashion） is/was Kate Moss。 Testino’s work with Moss over the years has created many memorable campaigns for each of them and is the subject of the latest softcover， trade edition of his work， simply titled “Kate Moss by Mario Testino。”Testino has been shooting Moss from the very beginnings of her career and the fifteen years of photography presented here （1996 thru 2010） show the close， familiar and intimate relationship between photographer and subject （in fact， both were involved in selecting the pictures for this book and both offer editorial on the relationship as well。） The photos range from the casual to the iconic and if there is any complaint here， it’s that there may be too many shots that are out of focus – some work that way while others are a bit superfluous。 But as a career retrospective capturing a decade and a half relationship of photographic trust， “Kate Moss by Mario Testino” holds together as a document of the working relationship between two icons， each in their own respective fields。All are worthy additions to your art bo 。。。more
