- Pirelli Calendar
The Pirelli Calendar has become an annual publication that belies its origin in
1964 as merely a trade calendar published by thePirelli company's UK subsidiary.The calendar is famous for its limited availability because it is not sold and is only given as a corporate gift to a restricted number of important Pirelli customers and celebrity VIPs. The Pirelli Calendar is perhaps the world's only prestigious and exclusive "girly" calendar, featuring pictures generally considered
glamour photography including artisticnude s.Publication was discontinued after the 1974 issue as an economising cut back in response to the world recession from the
oil shock . It was resurrected 10 years later and has been published regularly since then.Appearance on the calendar has become a mark of distinction for those
photographic model s that are chosen, as well as for thephotographer s commissioned to produce the images used. Over the years the models who have appeared have includedSienna Miller ,Naomi Campbell ,Gisele Bündchen ,Kate Moss ,Cindy Crawford ,Selma Blair ,Lauren Bush ,Laetitia Casta ,Rachael Leigh Cook ,Milla Jovovich ,Doutzen Kroes ,Heidi Klum ,Sofia Loren ,Penélope Cruz ,Brittany Murphy ,Amy Smart ,Julia Stiles ,Karolina Kurkova ,Raica Oliveira ,Adriana Lima ,Bridget Moynahan ,Shannyn Sossamon ,Mena Suvari ,Monet Mazur ,Aurelie Claudel ,Fernanda Tavares ,Frankie Rayder ,Angela Lindvall ,Hilary Swank andYamila Díaz .The 2009 Pirelli Calendar fotoshooting was made in the
