Alta Moda arises from a research still ongoing. The exhibition is the result of the first five years: a series of portraits of dancers from Cusco in traditional costumes. When Mario considered the aesthetics of AltaModa he decided to have as an inspiration the photographer from Cusco, Martín Chambi. The background that generates a contrast with the costumes is the one that Chambi used in his photographs. “I hope my images show how these traditions still exist in the present, at least for now.” - Mario Testino

Diana

An area dedicated to the portraits that Testino made of Diana of Wales, the last official portraits before her death; published in Vanity Fair magazine, july edition, 1997.

Mansion

Built in 1898 by the engineer Mateo Pagano, mansion MATE shares the characteristics of the typical Barranco’s ranches of the time: it is a rectangular construction of a single level, raised in adobe and full of details that denote a special craft skill. By 2011, when the diagnostic work began, the house was in a state of deterioration, despite which it had maintained its original structure. In October of that year the restoration began, in charge of the peruvian architect Augusto de Cossio. It took 10 months and involved repairing and strengthening the original adobe walls of the house, as well as restoring all the interior carpentry. in addition, details such as friezes and ornamental cornices were restored or reproduced from scratch, and the lighting was designed recreating the original position of ceiling lamps. All the historical restoration works were executed by the specialized professional team of the “Escuela Taller de Lima” and the art sculptors of “Escuela Autónoma de Bellas Artes”. During the restoration it returned to traditional adobe. Complementary to the renovation, a new adjacent building was built at the back of the villa, an exhibition gallery and Bodega MATE. This spaces were designed to satisfy the functional needs of MATE, and to conserve the harmony with original architecture, the furniture is also contemporary to the house. Mansion MATE was finished in July 2002.
