THE CALENDAR:
Italian Music is the central theme of the new calendar, The Italian Espresso Experience 2010, a herald for the world of talent, positivity and lifestyle. Behind such a surprising and sunny calendar is the authoritative English photographer Miles Aldridge, who has created 7 memorable shots. Miles Aldridge loves colours that do not exist in nature, like phosphorescent yellow, bubble gum pink, the green of artificial grass and the dialectics of opposites. It is no coincidence that his style is called Futuretrò: a mix of futuristic and vintage, lit by a pop and electrifying palette.
