Annie Leibovitz For Pirelli

The heroines of the new Pirelli calendar, released since 1964, are not impeccable supermodels, but real women of all ages. The most influential representatives of the fair sex appeared in front of Annie Leibovitz's lens: Yoko Ono, Natalia Vodianova, Serena Williams, Patti Smith, and other persons whom the photographer wanted to show "strong but natural." Inspired by women who have reached real heights in their field, she made the canons of the fashion industry sway again: to see the Pirelli calendar as it is now is surprising even for those who follow the rapidly advancing changes in it. Even after the plus-size model appeared on the calendar for the first time in its 50-year history (Candice Huffin was featured in a 2014 issue alongside Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Caroline Murphy and many others),Pirelli has made a small revolution. Not without the help of today's most influential woman in fashion photography.
