Miss Marisa’s exhibitions: Mario Testino’s Todo o nada. Rome 2011.

Ciao amici!! I’ ve seen a fantastic exhibition from fashion photographer Mario Testino and I can not wait to tell you about it!!

After the great opening in Madrid on septembre 21st 2010 “Todo o nada (all or nothing, tutto o niente) Mario Testino opened in Rome at the Fondazione Memmo. The show’s theme is the beautiful, sensual tension that exists between being clothed –todo- and being nude-nada- , documented in 54 exquisite Testino images, ranging from Nicole Kidman in dramatic Givenchy haute couture to a full-length shot of Demi Moore not wearing a stitch of anything, couture or otherwise. Where, after all, is that frisson more pronounced than in Rome? A city that seems to permanently exist in a collision between impeccably dressed signoras and acres of flesh sculpted from creamy marble, and has been ever since back in the day, when Rome was the kind of global/decadent superpower that can still get an HBO miniseries two-plus millennia later.

“As a concept, it often inspires me, the balance between the two opposites,” said Testino of his show’s theme at the exhibition’s opening party, which was cohosted by Silvia Venturini Fendi, Frida Giannini (sadly, missing in action), and Valentino’s Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Testino was unsure which (nude? attired?) he ultimately preferred for his work. “It all depends,” he said, laughing, “on the situation.” Directly after the opening, there was a dinner for Testino at Palazzo Ruspoli.
Dreat times here in ‘not that ancient’ Rome even if History is everywhere here.

Sometimes ‘ todo’ or sometimes ‘nada’, feelgood womanhood!! Ciao Ciao.
