The 2007 edition of the Pirelli Calendar was
presented last night at a gala affair in Battersea Evolution Park in
London, England.
The models of this edition are actresses Sophia Loren, Penélope Cruz,
Hilary Swank, Naomi Watts and newcomer Lou Doillon. They were
photographed in California by the Dutchmen Inez Van Lamsweerde and
Vinoodh Matadin.
The unique 2007 calendar marks a turning point in its history: The
glamour that characterized past editions is absent. There has been a
return to the simplicity of the film sets, stories and photography of
the early sixties (according to Pirelli, reminiscent of the films of
Pier Paolo Pasolini and Michelangelo Antonioni), plus an emphasis on
the personality of the person.
"We are in a room with just a bed and sheet. We wanted to make it as
personal and intimate as possible, as if we were shooting pictures with
friends," says Inez.Only
Only one appearing nude in the calendar is French actress and model Lou Doillon. Here's a picture of Lou from Pirelli's 2007 calendar.
