Stars Turn Out for Mario Testino’s Photo Party

Stars were shining bright at the opening of celeb and fashion photographer Mario Testino’s latest exhibition, “Obsessed by You”. And Testino himself appeared pretty star-struck by his party’s celebrity turnout. “I’ve planning this for so long, look how many people came!” he told PEOPLE last night, at the luxe Phillips de Pury & Company auction house event in London. Shirtless waiters served Champagne and Pimm’s to a fashionable crowd that included designer Tom Ford and models Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer, who, like many of Testino’s subjects, has a long-standing relationship with the photographer. “I’ve known Mario for 20 years. When he was not even Mario Testino yet,” said Schiffer. “He’s always been amazing.” And Ford concurred: “It’s hard to say which [photograph] is my favorite because I love Mario’s work. Every picture in these rooms is terrific.” Click here for more details the collection of 32 star-studded prints which will be on view — and for sale — from today through July 26th.
