verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Kate + Mario = fashion dynamite. This book is the legendary photographer’s personal homage to his greatest muse: a young girl that captured his heart and eye with her beauty, humour and spirit, and whose image in his photographs has captured imaginations the world over. The show-stopping collection includes fashion shoots, candid snaps, and insights from both icons. Can you tell us more about this portrait?

Art and scienceThe Spice Girls enjoy massive popular success with their first single Wannabe going straight to Number 1. The group are remembered as much for their sassy, outspoken 'girl power' attitude and their continuing subsequent celebrity as for their music. MARIO TESTINO is donating a portrait of Kate Moss to the Masterpiece London auction in a bid to raise money for CLIC Sargent - a charity providing clinical, financial and emotional support to children suffering from cancer. The image was taken in LA in 1996 when the supermodel was 22 years old.

I have supported CLIC Sargent for more than 10 years and it is a charity I hold very close to my heart," said Testino. "My brother died aged 10 from cancer and the pain caused by it to people around a child suffering is devastating. I am delighted to donate a unique print for the auction tonight in support of this wonderful cause."

Peruvian photographer Mario Testino is known worldwide for his portraits of some of the most famous faces - from the Royal Family to Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Madonna. Having also shot campaigns for the likes of Burberry, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace, he is in very high demand. British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman said in her contribution to his book, Portraits, that Testino's work makes you look better than you could imagine "not in your wildest dreams, but at the remotest end of possibility." In a rare glimpse into the mind of one of the industry’s most private figures, Kate Moss joins Mario in sharing personal insights into their professional and personal relationship. In her exclusive essay, she pays tribute to Testino. “Mario took me to a new level of glamour. I don’t think anybody had seen me as any kind of sexy model before he did. He was the one that transformed me. Before him I was just a grungy girl, but he saw me differently. He was the first to say ‘Oh, she’s quite sexy. I’ve seen her out! I know she’s not just that grungy girl.’ He’d seen me in a pair of heels, getting glamorous – and he was the first to start taking pictures of me in that way. He changed the way people thought about me as a model, for sure. Later other people started working with me in that way, but he was the first.” Mario Testino is recognised as the ultimate fashion photographer of his generation but his pictures of Kate Moss transcend fashion. The consequence 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.
