Issues Calendar Pirelli 1987-1993. Every year the calendar is becoming more and more interesting, for it involved the creation of the most talented photographers, stylists and producers. And it is on the pilgrim Pirelli begins his meteoric career "black panther" Naomi Campbell.

1987

Photographer: Terence Donovan

One of the best calendars Pirelli, in my opinion. At this time in the shooting involved only black models, among whom was a 16-year-old Naomi Campbell (amazing how she was allowed to appear nude in such a young age). At this time, "tread" theme is reflected in the large gold ornaments that were made to order one eminent London-based designer. During the filming was done about 30 000 photos, only 13 of them were selected for a calendar.

Every year the Pirelli Calendar, more boggle the imagination of viewers. This time the theme of the calendar began four seasons as reflected in the dance. To implement the project was invited Gillian Lynne - Choreographer, which was engaged in choreographing musicals "Cats" and "Phantom of the Opera", as well as leading soloist of the Royal Ballet. For the first time in the pages of the calendar appeared the man: a young man dressed in a suit with a print in the form of tire tread and stands in contrast to the elegant images of dancers.



























1989

Photographer: Joyce Tenneson

The theme of the new calendar became the signs of the zodiac. The second time, made the woman photographer - Joyce Tennessee had a higher artistic education and excellently passed on the film mysterious and mystical images. The photographer has created excellent 13 frames in a soft color scheme, on which the models were wrapped in a veil though. The photo can be seen again, though almost imperceptibly, the tread pattern of tires Pirelli.



























1990

Photographer: Arthur Elgort

Early 90's - the heyday of gyms and fitness centers, which then began to visit the woman. Hence the idea to create a calendar on the theme of Gerayi - female counterpart of the Olympic Games, in which the fair sex competed in the race. Everyone knows that in ancient Greece, women were not allowed to participate in the Olympics, so active ladies created their own competition, whose name comes from the name of the goddess Hera - homemaker. The shooting calendar is really involved is a real athlete, Olympic participant, Laura Bourges, which among other things coached other models participating in a photo shoot. The shooting took place on the calendar ranch in Seville, in a special enclosure, decorated by the ancient Greek stadium.

The idea of ​​the next calendar was to show not only looks sexy and attractive woman, but also demonstrate her mind and courage. To do this like nothing better came the great historical figures - women who forever changed the life of their country. Preparations for shooting resembled resembled research: it was necessary to select the thirteen historical events in which the main role was played by a woman, pick up images and outfits of the era of certain days. The costumes were still somewhat changed - according to the creators "to designate up to their home country, women and, of course, weave favorite tread print." The list of great women in the history of the world, among others, our compatriot was the first female officer in the Russian Army Hope Durov, Cleopatra and "Maid of Saragossa" Agostina Argon.

Once again, the creators of the calendar turned to the astral theme - this time the choice fell on the animals of the Chinese horoscope. The selection process models lasted more than four months: thousands of models chosen from the three girls who had a great sense of rhythm and a rich imagination to depict a variety of animals. Preparing costumes took more time: to create a mask, symbolizing the animal, took 10 days. Then the problems started with the choice of filming locations: see China, India, South Korea, but in the end the choice fell on Spain. In total, the shooting took 20 days, was created more than 10 000 photos. The final touch was a companion text to each photo, including a list of celebrities who were born under each sign.



























1993

This year, Pirelli celebrates the 30th anniversary of the release calendar and return to their favorite beach theme. Unlike previous "beach" editions in the spirit of "sexy beauty carefree frolic in the waves", a new calendar combines the talent of professional models, artistic ideas and attention to detail style.
