The Pirelli 2024 calendar connects European and African culture, starring Naomi

The star of the Pirelli calendar is again Naomi Campbell, who became a mother for the second time at the age of 53. The top model is the symbol of eternal beauty, the "time stopper" that everyone envies. This is the nickname given to her by Prince Gyasi, the first African photographer to create a Pirelli Calendar, titled Timeless.

But the real secret of this work is not the model's perfect physique, but a concept of eternal talent.

It is a modern work suitable for social networks and full of innovations. This is the first time of a king and a child in the cast of the chosen ones.

The Cal 2024 edition also aims to be a bridge between European and African culture, with an all-black cast and Ghana, the birthplace of Prince Gyasi, chosen along with London as the setting to show that Africa can host productions of high level.

The Pirelli calendar celebrates its half century with a meaningful version entrusted to talents such as actress Angela Bassett (protagonist of the film "Tina" about the life of Tina Turner), writer Margot Lee Shetterly, poet and activist Amanda Gorman. (Chosen by Biden for his inauguration ceremony), musician and director Jeymes Samuel, actor Idris Elba, artist Amoako Boafo, former footballer Marcel Desailly, King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II of the Ashanti nation, the young Prince and photographer himself Prince Gyasi , who made a self-portrait.

"Prince Gyasi speaks a language that reaches new generations, he brings a lot of vitality within a tradition: his originality impressed us and the past is not an obstacle but a support for building the future," said Marco Tronchetti Provera, CEO of Pirelli "Gyasi's is a world where there is no difference between men and women, they are simply people of the highest order."
