Mario Testino comes from a very ’proper’ family in Peru - his sister is a knitwear designer - and he returns there as often as he’s able to, though he’s almost permanently mid-air, or hard at work on a shoot. Mario Testino is also credited with bringing to an end the reign of the ubermodel. Rather than pay the fees demanded by Linda, Naomi et al, in the early Nineties Testino championed a new breed of model - including Kate Moss ("my favourite"), and Stella Tennant.
