Every year, people wait in anticipation to see how the new Pirelli calendar will be created. The renowned calendar, which is not for free sale and which is also only given away exclusively to partners in Switzerland, picks up on current social trends every year and captures the spirit of the times. Last year, exclusively dark-skinned models were photographed around the theme of "Alice in Wonderland".
Four women and their ambitious life stories
This year, the cult calendar for 2019 goes in a completely different direction. The focus is on four women and their ambitious life stories; it's all about achieving life's goals. The protagonists are Misty Copeland, the first African-American prima ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre, actress Julia Garner and models Laetitia Casta and Gigi Hadid. Photographer Albert Watson has included a partner at each of the women's sides. Alexander Wang can be seen at Gigi Hadid's side, making him the first fashion designer to be photographed for a Pirelli calendar.
