Brains over breast

The Pirelli Calendar looks a little different this time. You find the name of photographer behind the lens for 2016 edition, you will understand all.

No nudity, no exotic landscapes, no models that we are used to see in Pirelli calendars. This time Annie Leibovitz photographed 13 women known for their brains rather than their bodies and she invited them to studio.  

The 2016 calendar features exceptional and intellectual women from the worlds of business, sport and art. You will see Serena Williams, Yao Chen, Patti Smith, Amy Schumer, and Yoko Ono – (almost) all dressed up. What’s more, this Pirelli edition is not even a calendar – it has a form of a book . The only thing that hasn’t change is a limited print.
