KIND NOTES
Thursday, May 7, 2009
I still can't get over on these beyond beautiful images from the 2008 Pirelli Calendar. These pictures are especially kind for my heart, because they were taken in Shanghai.
The 2008 Calendar was set entirely in Shanghai:
...the picturesque streets of the old French Concession, the splendid gardens of the former British Legation...
... the mysterious and sensual atmosphere of forbidden China...
...the convulsive Nanjing Road and the characteristic tea houses constitute the background for the camera shots that were graced the 12 months.
The twenty-three intense portraits recount the pomp of ancient China,
...with it's splendour and the colours in which the Oriental myth of female beauty - perfection, purity, grace - is searched out.
"I think. Many Chinese women are graceful, I think we have an inner grace that's more rare than you find in the West." affirmed Maggie Cheung, the well-known Chinese actress.
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.
