Mario Testino, SIR

Icon-Icon Opinion : 

He immortalized the most beautiful personalities, from Madonna to Princess Diana and Catherine Middleton, in portraits that have become milestones in the field. All those that our time counts stars, people or top models passed in front of the camera of Mario Testino…

But Mario Testino has above all contributed to taking a new look at the masculine. Elegant, slender, sublime and sexy … The work of Mario Testino, exhibited in this beautiful book, traces the very evolution of male beauty over the past 30 years.

Fun, sexy and daring, his photographs, editorials and campaigns for the most innovative companies have set new definitions for men’s fashion photography. Sensual rather than provocative: lively, above all!

An iconic vocabulary that transgresses often, but with a masterful sophistication.

Mario Testino selects his finest male portraiture from the past thirty years. As costume, gender play, photojournalism, tradition, and fashion collide, this Eden of male allure is testimony both to Testino’s unfailing eye for immediacy and elegance, and to the evolution of male self-expression.
