Mario Testino built his career on discovery and transformation, constantly redefining the boundaries of fashion photography. Travelling around the world, he sharpened his eyes creating his own aesthetic. In the babel of styles and trends, Testino invented a new language which translates the meaning of the term «fashion» from one country to the next, from one decade to the next.

With Extremes, Mario Testino captivates the viewer with the extraordinary plurality of his work. Each of his images creates a world of elegance, beauty, style, and at the same time irreverence, and contradiction. He captures the interplay of mass media, celebrity, and glamour like no other, and offers a new understanding of the aesthetic of fashion photography. Anyone whom he photographs embodies the spirit of the moment. His sense of fashion has transformed many of his portraits into icons. This is why, a Testino portrait will always remain unmistakable.

The gallery will present, for the first time in Europe, Alta Moda – literally “high fashion” in Spanish – a series of portraits of Peruvians wearing traditional and festive attire from the mountainous region of Cusco. While the series appears to reference the tradition of ethnographic photography, Testino has captured several stories within each photograph. Mario Testino has created a visual language, a true reflection of our time which is simultaneously timeless.
