Bregenz/Vienna, 2014/07/07 - Top international fashion photographer Mario

unique beauty and attraction of the modern woman. Testino's photographs create
a unique visual synergy of product and personality and will be presented
worldwide in Wolford boutiques, at trade partners, in advertisements, videos
and social media channels.
"We're really excited for our partnership with Mario Testino, who is such an
