This marks the first time the e-tailer has teamed up with a shutterbug. The collection features enlarged and abstract sections of Testino&amp;#039;s latest photographic exhibition, &amp;quot;Alta Moda,&amp;quot; a series of photographs of Peruvians wearing traditional attire. &amp;quot;We fell in love with Mario&amp;#039;s incredible book of photographs, and we knew that we had to collaborate with him somehow,&amp;quot; said NET-A-PORTER&amp;#039;s fashion director, Holli Rogers. &amp;quot;Mario was extremely involved in the process and excited to delve into ready-to-wear. He chose all of the photographs [we] used and worked closely with our team to find manufactures in his native Peru.&amp;quot; The limited-edition line features caftans, T-shirts, clutches, jewelry designed by Erickson Beamon&amp;#039;s Vicki Beamon, and 17 vintage pieces that were handcrafted in Peru. &amp;quot;The vintage pieces were handmade by Marcelle Symons of One Vintage, and are reworked to include Peruvian fabric,&amp;quot; explained Rogers. Plus, 20 percent of net sale profits will go to MATE, a non-profit association established by Testino to support and promote the arts in his home country. And unlike the majority of NET-A-PORTER&amp;#039;s high-end picks, these pieces are all accessibly priced: T-shirts are $210, caftans run $280, and clutches are tagged $150. &amp;quot;Essentially, these pieces are wearable art,&amp;quot; said Rogers. &amp;quot;We worked hard to make the price point accessible, and we can see them becoming iconic prints. They are the type of thing you&amp;#039;ll wear walking down the street and someone will ask, &amp;#039;Is that a Mario Testino piece?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; The NET-A-PORTER Mario Testino for MATE collection will be available on NET-A-PORTER.com starting in June.
