1999
The 1999 Pirelli
Calendar takes us right through the twentieth century to the current day,
and beyond into the year 2000; this photographic masterpiece, created by
one of the world's most formidable photographers, Herb Ritts, evokes a
certain quality and mood of each decade which is captured perfectly in
this set of twelve stunning black and white images.
A lot of research on photography styles, lighting and costumes appropriate
to each decade was undertaken, taking visual references from old pictures,
films and books. The Calendar took approximately five days to complete,
and was shot in three locations; Herb Ritts' private studio, a beach house
in Malibu, and at the Smashbox Studio in Los Angeles. |

2000
A masterpiece and a work of
art, the 2000 Pirelli Calendar celebrates the strength and power of the
female form, and has been photographed by the world's most celebrated and
acclaimed female photographer of our time, Annie Leibovitz. Production of
the Calendar took around eighteen months from conception to launch. The
shoot took place in May 1999, at Annie's private studio in Rheinbeck, some
two hours north of New York, set in the most stunning and beautiful
scenery along the Hudson River Valley. When casting for the Calendar,
Leibovitz had very specific ideas and chose five dancers from the Mark
Morris Dance Group in New York, a modern dance company, formed in 1980.
In addition to casting modern dancers, Annie also chose Olympic athlete
and British record holder Jacqui Agyepong, and portrays her powerful
physique in a Greek sculpture-style pose. Laetitia Casta and Alek Wek,
both world-famous models complete the 2000 line-up - both Laetitia and
Alek have featured in the 1999 Pirelli Calendar, and were delighted to
have been asked to participate in a second Calendar, particularly the
millennium edition!
