Pirelli Calendar 2012

fashion

With the theme of natural feminine beauty, the 2012 Pirelli Calendar was unveiled this week in New York. This edition features Mario Sorrenti's work (the first italian photographer chosen in the history of the 47-year old italian calendar), who deliberately chose to not portray the models in an 'obviously' sexy fashion, as claimed by him in an interview for WWD:

Originally I thought I was going to do very sexy pictures, and when we got there I realized that I didn’t want the pictures to be sexy at all.

Faithful to this year's theme, the images are elegant compositions based on a simple formula: the combined textures of the naked skin, framed and enhanced by the natural elements of the Corsica island. Beautifully minimalistic.

Minimalissimo is founded on the kindness and support of Marcus Burock and 27 others. If you enjoy what we’re doing, consider joining this group.
