TIM WALKER CELEBRATES BLACK BEAUTY IN THE PIRELLI 2018 CALENDAR

Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and the original sketches he drew before John Tenniel’s illustrations, PIRELLI unveils pictures from its 2018 calendar. It is a wondrous celebration of black beauty, photographed by Tim Walker and styled by Edward Enninful with set design by Shona Heath. The calendar plays on exaggerated sizing and playful flourishes with help from a blockbuster cast.

The amazing cast is made up of Adwoa Aboah as Tweedledee; Naomi Campbell and Sean Combs are The Royal Beheaders; Slick Woods is The Madhatter; Lupita Nyong’o is The Dormouse; Whoopi Goldberg is The Royal Duchess; Djimon Hounsou is The King of Hearts; RuPaul is The Queen of Hearts; Adut Akech is The Queen of Diamonds; Alpha Dia is the Five-Of-Hearts-Playing-Card Gardener; King Owusu is the Two-Of-Hearts-Playing-Card Gardener; Lil Yachty is The Queen’s Guard; Thando Hopa is The Princess of Hearts; Wilson Oryema is the Seven-Of-Hearts-Playing-Card Gardener; Zoe Bedeaux is The Caterpillar; Sasha Lane is The Mad March Hare; and Duckie Thot is Alice.
