#nightmood #costumephotography @mariotestino Alta moda 2007 - 2019 “I started doing the Alta Moda series over ten years ago, after discovering dance school Filigranas Peruanas’ incredible archive of traditional costumes. Teo Allain, Martín Chambi's grandson, joined the project allowing us to use the backings his grandfather had used to portray the residents of Cusco almost a century ago. Documenting all the traditional costumes of Peru became a passion and a responsibility, both as a photographer and as a Peruvian.” - that’s what the photographer wrote about his series that blew my mind when I saw it for a first time many years ago and still make me feel deeply amazed. I wish I could see the front of those costumes as well. #beautyofcostume #artofcostume #peruviancostume #artofphotography #beautyoffashion #fashionasinspiration #portraitphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CSU5G8AAhZh/?utm_medium=tumblr
