If you receive a Pirelli calendar in your lifetime, it pretty much means you've made it.Circulated to only a hundred or so ultra VIPs each year, the calendar features a number of models in scantily clad outfits (we hear Leonardo DiCaprio is a big fan).
This year, Adriana Lima, Natalia Vodianova, Raquel Zimmermann, Isabeli Fontana, Sasha Luss, Anna Ewers, Carolyn Murphy, Cameron Russell, Gigi Hadid, Candice Huffine, Karen Elson and Joan Smalls have been photographed for the calendar, which was shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Carine Roitfeld.
Isabeli Fontana, who appears in the calendar for the eighth year running, told Vanity Fair she was becoming Raquel Welch, with the whip and cowgirl pants.
Meanwhile Natalia Vodianova flew in from Paris to shoot the calendar in New York mere days after giving birth to her fourth child, Maxim.
"I left him at home, in Paris, and I flew here to New York - even if only for a few hours - because I know what it means to work with Steven, Vodianova explained. It's a magical experience."
Self-proclaimed plus size model, Candice Huffine, says the calendar is a sign of the times this year.
"My presence on this set - the most glamorous in the world - is a sign that things are really changing," she said.
Carine Roitfeld, who styled the shoot, also weighed in on the end product, saying photographer Steven Meisel had made the girls truly beguiling.
"Personally, I've always loved shapely models, who often turn out to be more at ease with their bodies than normal ones," Roitfeld said. "That's precisely why I like them. Beauty inhabits different worlds and different ideas of beauty."
