{"product_id":"mario-testino-sir-40th-ed","title":"Mario Testino. SIR. 45th Ed.","description":"\"The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man's personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body.\"\u003cbr\u003e - Mario Testino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, \u003cb\u003eMario Testino\u003c\/b\u003e is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR the influential photographer presents \u003cb\u003eover 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Featuring \u003cb\u003ean essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth\u003c\/b\u003e, and many previously unpublished works from Testino's archive of thousands, this book traces the \u003cb\u003eevolution of male identity over the past three decades\u003c\/b\u003e. Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through \u003cb\u003ethe dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With \u003cb\u003eJosh Hartnett\u003c\/b\u003e for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti's The Damned. Studies of \u003cb\u003eBrad Pitt\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eGeorge Clooney\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eJude Law\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eColin Firth\u003c\/b\u003e are as candid as they are curious. \u003cb\u003eDavid Beckham\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eDavid Bowie\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eMick Jagger\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eKeith Richards\u003c\/b\u003e feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises, these portraits define a period in which men's changing role, style and appearance has never escaped Testino's eye and impeccable intuition.","brand":"TASCHEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42523050967076,"sku":"9783836588140","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783836588140.jpg?v=1780429835","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/mario-testino-sir-40th-ed","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
