Our career crush Annie Leibovitz is probably best known for her work with The Rolling Stones and Vanity Fair. You’d know her, she’s a badass portrait photographer who ignores the medias standards of beauty constantly. She’s a bit of a hero. Swoon.
So when her name was associated with the Pirelli calendar we were a little tiny bit concerned. It usually looks like this:
Yah.
But LOOK, Annie’s got our back and she’s only gone and made the coolest calendar ever.
Featuring Serena Williams and comedy queen Amy Schumer, the calendar turns away from the usual sexualised women and instead focuses on confidence and intelligence. Naked models are replaced by smart role models.
Choosing philanthropists and artists, Annie has handpicked some of the most aspirational women in modern society.
It features in full; Amy Schumer, artist Yoko Ono, tennis great Serena Williams, author Fran Leibovitz, writer and actress Tavi Gevinson, director Ava DuVernay, model and activist Natalia Vodianova, actress Yao Chen, musician Patti Smith, philanthropist and art collector Agnes Gund, movie producer Kathleen Kennedy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dreamworks Animation Mellody Hobson, and visual artist Shirin Neshat.
