We're proud to announce that the 2008 Pirelli Calendar has been launched in Shangai, in the wonderful Pudong Shangri-La Hotel setting.
The thirty-fifth edition of "The Cal", the first ever realized in Asia, is an exceptional visiting card to bring the world of Pirelli to the public of the Orient.
Twenty-three intense portraits recount the pomp of ancient China, with its splendour and the colours in which the Oriental myth of female beauty - perfection, purity, grace - is searched out.
Patrick Demarchelier, the influential maestro of portrait photography, for the second time authors the celebrated almanac.
