“She isn’t like anyone else, every time you photograph Kate, you feel you are seeing a girl in real life, not a model” he says…. Mario Testino, easily the best fashion photographer of his generation has released a book dedicated to his favourite muse Kate Moss. Testino has shot Kate countless times for covers, editorials, catalogues and portraits. As such it would come as no surprise that the famed photographer would have accumulated a huge library of photos of Kate over the years, ranging from the very start when he captured shots of her backstage at runways, all the way through to her career as the legendary print model she has become. All of this sparked the idea to collaborate on this amazing book. So.. that makes it not so hard to believe that this book features 128-pages of photos of the supermodel taken by the acclaimed photographer throughout their long-term work together. Even though Kate Moss is 37 years old, I would still settle for an evening with her at my favourite Surinam restaurant any day, LOL.

After the sold out limited edition, this book is now available in an unlimited trade edition at the price of 50 Euro at bookstore MENDO. It’s astounding value when you consider that the original hardcover edition, in an acrylic box, retailed at 350 Euros ( now easily worth 1250 Euros) and was a strict limited edition of 1,500, numbered and signed by the artist.
