He always gives so much of himself - he’ll teach people, he’ll help people, he’s really sensitive to people and who they are.

It is precisely this contrast between the apparently incidental and the impossibly glamorous which makes Testino's images continually fascinating. This book catalogues the pair’s journey as one of fashion’s most creative collaborations, 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.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.

The trust between us means that we are free with each other, he does not trap me into a set way of being, we find the picture together. His solo exhibitions have shown in museums and galleries worldwide, including the National Portrait Gallery, London; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Kate Moss, London, 2006 is a classic Testino work, both capturing the intimacy of a seemingly unguarded or fleeting moment and also heightening a sense of glamour and surreality.

With a four decades career as a leader in the fields of fashion, culture and lifestyle, Peruvian-born Mario Testino OBE has many facets that take him beyond the surface of a photographer and artist placing him as a cultural visionary. Im Lauf ihrer einzigartigen Karriere stand/lag/bewegte sich Kate Moss vor der Kamera jedes namhaften Modephotographen der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte - darunter klingende Namen wie Mario Sorrenti, Arthur Elgort, Nick Knight, Patrick Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh, Karl Lagerfeld, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino und viele andere mehr. Während sie mit den Werbekampagnen für Calvin Klein in den 90er Jahren schlagartig weltberühmt wurde, gab sie sich privat eher leger und understatig, was sie umso glaubwürdiger machte: Kate schlaksig, jung und erfahren wurde als Inbegriff einer neuen Ära der Coolness gefeiert.
