Alta
Moda — or “high fashion” in Spanish — documents Peruvian people wearing the
traditional and festive dress associated with the mountainous region of Cusco.
From 2007 - 2012, Testino frequently visited Cusco after discovering an archive
of costumes from the region.
The photographs draw inspiration from the work of
Martin Chambi, one of the first indigenous Latin American photographers.
Testino worked closely with Chambi’s grandchildren and recreated backdrops from
the archive of the late Peruvian photographer.
