Mario Testino is without a doubt one of the most sought after fashion photographers alive today. To be shot by Testino, is for a model, the ultimate. So, could you imagine what it’s like to be Kate Moss? A supermodel of her calibre, who has worked with nearly everyone, at least half a dozen times over, walked virtually every catwalk in the world, and been shot by Testino what would seem a gazillion times… You think it would get old, right? Wrong.
Kate Moss is one of these precious creatures who, in rare form, does not get boring to look at. Page after page of sultry, sexy, innocent shots — all wrapped up in deliciously fashion-fledged silver, and a cherry red protective sleeve — Kate Moss By Mario Testino (TASCHEN, $69.99) absolutely redefines what makes the list as a super-luxe fan self-indulgence. Hundreds of beautiful, high quality photographs from across her globe-trotting career, including a lovely conversation between Testino and Patrick Kimmoth (which appears throughout the book in multiple translations), in which Testino talks fondly about the first time he met Kate, where else but backstage at a Galliano show.
Big thanks to TASCHEN for their continued support of TALL DARK ROAST.
