'The Pirelli Calendar is an icon of our times. Its acclaimed photographers - among them Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Norman Parkinson, Bruce Weber and Annie Leibovitz - have worked with top models such as Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell to create images of sensual escape from reality that define an ideal of beauty. 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 and a coveted collector's item. This book contains the full calendar for all years up to 2004, and is a must for fashion aficionados, photography buffs, and advertising and design professionals.' (source: publisher)
