Net als van degenen achter de kalender: Carine Roitfeld en Steven Meisel. Nu staat eerstgenoemde al bekend om haar liefde voor latex, en dat is dan ook duidelijk te zien.

Extra spannend: Carice en Steven castten niet alleen rotten uit het vak Adriana Lima en Isabeli Fontana voor de nieuwe Pirelli-kalender, maar ook nieuwkomers (en Carine's nieuwe muze) Gigi Hadid en plus-size model Candice Huffine (een ware primeur).

Beiden zijn dan ook vereerd om voor de lens van Meisel te poseren. Gigi vertelt:

'To do something like the Pirelli calendar is amazing because of the teams that have worked on it in the past, and this year, I got really lucky to be able to work with Steven Meisel and Carine Roitfeld. Carine is like my godmother in fashion. She has been such a great influence on my career and has become a mentor to me.'

Voor de 30-jarige Candice Huffine was het een droom die uitkwam:

'I didn't think this was ever going to happen for me, I didn't put this on my career bucket list because it's so at the top, it's so elite and special and iconic and an institution in its own right. Everyone knows what the Pirelli calendar is. We were not let in on the artistic process before the shoot, but you trust your team. If Steven Meisel is shooting, you know it can never be anything less than amazing.'

Adriana Lima doet dit voor de derde keer, maar dat maakt het niet minder speciaal:

'I love working with Carine, she's a very talented woman. I was so happy with my latex outfit! I love it! I'm sorry! We're making art, it's not like you're going to be walking around the street with latex on. It's art you know? That's how I see it.'
