Mario Testino for Wolford
Top international fashion photographer Mario Testino is giving new spirit to the visual language of Wolford starting in July 2014. His images evoke the essence of an emotive, self-confident femininity that is sensual and aesthetic whilst being stylish and provocative. Selected classic styles of Wolford hosiery and top innovations as well as lingerie and bodysuits flatter the feminine figure like a second skin while emphasizing the 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 internationally renowned fashion photographer. The new visual language will significantly strengthen the emotional presence of the Wolford brand, inspiring our customers worldwide”, says Axel Dreher, Wolford board spokesman. For Wolford, this cooperation is a major step in the strategic refocusing of the company, embracing its roots and placing the product emphasis on exclusive hosiery, lingerie, bodysuits and select clothing.
