THE CALENDAR:
Women, travel, dreams. After the 1995 calendar, Ellen von Unwerth also put her name to the 2006 edition, which speaks of luxury and the glamorous era of flying, when the sky was for the few and the imagery was filled with exotic havens, coffee cocktails, smiles and expectations. Ellen von Unwerth’s photographs with their ironic and provocative yet always elegant and sensual style appear in the most important magazines of the industry. In addition to photography, she spends time making short films and music videos.
