2017 Pirelli Calendar

The 2017 Pirelli calendar has been announced.

Shot by Peter Lindbergh, the focus is “against the perfection of youth”. So he had a calendar filled with actresses and avoided too much retouching, preferring instead to…

…capture sensitivity and emotion, laying bare the souls of the women in the images, rendering them more naked that [sic] a nude.

There’s a behind-the-scenes video as well:

A few of the images from Peter’s Instagram account:

Better than the usual half-naked ladies, but still ladies… we want parity.

Now of course, when you want to avoid the “perfection of youth” with known ladies you have to turn to actresses because there are no known models over 30. And even the actresses have their use-by date (warning, fairly raw & racy humor in the link).

That’s a funny bit. Love those actresses.
