Todo o Nada

I wish I was visiting Rome this summer to see Mario Testino's exhibition, Todo o Nada, at the Fondazione Memmo. Some of Italy's most historic fashion houses, Fendi, Gucci and Valentino, have come together to celebrate one of the most iconic photographers of our time; Testino. The exhibition explores the contrasts and advantages between being clothed and being nude, documenting the strong, assertive and powerfully feminine women that have been a constant muse for Testino over the years.

Testino has this knack of making his model look stunning no matter if there wearing clothes or not. So the title 'Todo o Nada' meaning 'All or Nothing' seems most appropriate.
