Published in 1999, "Front Row/Backstage" captures the excitement and drama of the international shows in Paris, London and Milan. In this book, Testino has curated a collage of images from these intense, hectic, beautiful spectacles, contrasting the chaos and reality behind the scenes with the serenity of the model’s final appearance on the catwalk. In "Front Row/Backstage", Testino invites us to share his coveted seat in the front row to witness the fleeting moments of fashion as it happens.
