It was filmed entirely in Shanghai, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier. This is his second calendar.His first was shot in 2005 in Rio. He offered: “The casting was a fascinating mix between the West and the Orient: an interesting group of faces.”
The Pirelli Calendar has become an annual publication that belies its origin in 1964 as merely a trade calendar published by the Pirelli 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 artistic nudes.
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.
