The Pirelli Calendar is an icon of our times.
This unique edition contains the full calendar for all years up to 2007: it is a must for fashion aficionados and photography buffs everywhere.
Not available by purchase or subscription, but only sent to a Who’s Who of movers and shakers, this luxurious pin-up calendar has over the years featured the world’s most beautiful women, including Kate Moss, Sophia Loren, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Natassja Kinski and many others. The exclusiveness of the Calendar has made it into a cult object, and it has become a prized object for collectors all over the world.
The first international edition of the Pirelli Calendar came out in 1964. Since then, the calendar has included images by such renowned photographers as Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber and Annie Leibovitz. These photographs deliver their own visions of beauty while tracing the history of design, costume, fashion, photography and more.
The Pirelli Calendar has always shaken the world with the audacity, innovation and sensuality of its content. Its images stretch the parameters of erotic fantasy and fabulous photography, but their subtlety and quality also establish the calendar as a paradigm of its genre.
