"Actress Eva Mendes graces the pages of Campari's 2008 calendar, in a range of shots that explore fairytales and fantasies.
In the latest calendar photographer Marino Parisotto recreated myth and redefined fairytales like The Little Match Girl, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, so that the female protagonists have their fragility transformed into strength and power.
'The Campari Calendar has been a truly unique experience,' said Eva Mendes. 'I had never posed for a calendar before and I was thrilled that Campari has given me the opportunity to interpret these wonderful stories… who wouldn’t want to live a fairytale even if for a short while?'.
Gruppo Campari CEO Bob Kunze-Concewitz said Eva was the perfect choice. 'She is an international star with great flair and has interpreted the Campari Tales with passion and sublime grace.'
This will be the ninth year that Campari has produced a calendar, and the 2008 edition will have a limited print run of 9,999 copies which will be distributed internationally."
