{"product_id":"40720-mario-testino-sir-45th-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.” — Mario Testino From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men . Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth , and many previously unpublished works from Testino’s archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades . Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby . Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti’s The Damned . Studies of Brad Pitt , George Clooney , Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham , David Bowie , Mick Jagger and Keith Richards 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":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458085445845,"sku":"9783836588140","price":120000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/55831766c47452333e638abfe7cd6007.png?v=1773905847","url":"https:\/\/weavingtheplanet.com\/en\/products\/40720-mario-testino-sir-45th-ed","provider":"Weaving The Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
