Fashion Dynamite
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 result of two decades of extraordinary friendship, and phenomenal glamour, this
iconic collaboration is an intimate insight into the lives and minds of two of the world’s definitive style leaders.
This book follows the journey of this exceptional fashion partnership,
from early days backstage at the shows to behind-the-scenes glimpses of the groundbreaking editorials they continue to produce for the world’s most respected magazines. Of the 100-plus images, many photographs have been chosen from Testino’s private archive and are published here for the first time. They are accompanied by a foreword by Testino and an
exclusive essay by Kate Moss.
