14 DAY TRIAL // With predecessors like Eva Mendez and Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba is the next movie star to “steal” the glory of showing her outstanding face and body on the 2009 edition of the Campari Catalog. Alba, who recently gave birth to a beautiful baby-girl named Honor Marie Warren, is another major beauty icon to prove that maternity can be more than just gaining pounds. She returns to the spotlight with her fascinating photo-shoot and with her stunning appearance on the red carpet of the gala announcing the anniversary release.
The 10th anniversary edition of the Campari Catalog seems to follow the success formula, namely the right idea and the right crew to put it into practice. The catalog's theme is Club Campari, and it is especially designed to reveal Jessica Alba's curves at their best, more feminine now than ever. The actress is to be remembered in black and white swim-suits and tight, suggestive evening gowns. The pictures, taken in Malibu by the more-than-famous Mario Testino, artistically captured Alba's perfectly slim silhouette and deliciously sun-bathed skin. No wonder why Jean Paul-Goude was cast to direct the show.
Taking place this week in Milano, the happening in charge to present the new catalog - a special-invitation-only kind of event - gathered la creme-de-la-creme of fashion industry, like Donatella Versace, Allegra Beck, and various movie stars. Though, the one taking over the red carpet was still the protagonist of the shooting, wearing an exquisite Dolce & Gabbana scarlet dress, paired with matching red platforms.
The catalog fans and addicts should keep their patience and wait for the release, announced for the end of this year. Still, as it will be internationally distributed in only 9,999 copies, it is better to ask Santa to bring you one. And do it nicely.
