Pirelli is a multinational firm based in Milan, Italy. It is fifth-largest tyre producer.

After taking a trip in the same direction for more than 50 years, Italian tire maker Pirelli pulled a U-turn for its 2016 calendar, putting over the top sexuality in its review mirror– for at the very least one year– to focus on ladies’s stamina as well as accomplishments in new pictures by professional photographer Annie Leibovitz.

As opposed to sensual close-ups and also exotic beaches, the 2016 schedule presents black-and-white portraits of a variety of established ladies, from athlete Serena Williams and also comic Amy Schumer to financial investment banker Mellody Hobson.

“Rationale was not to have any type of pretense in these images, and also to be straightforward and show these females precisely, like who they are,” Leibovitz states in a Pirelli video clip that provides a behind the curtain check out making the schedule.

Leibovitz states Pirelli asked her for a “separation” from years past, and that’s what the business got. In the 2015 schedule, a lot of the models were photographed topless or attired in latex (or both).

Of the 12 portraits in the 2016 iteration, just Williams and Schumer are in revealing poses, as well as both of them are transformed a minimum of partly away from the video camera.

As the schedule was released, Schumer created a mix on social networks, uploading a photo from her image shoot as well as the subtitle “Stunning, gross, solid, thin, fat, very, awful, sexy, disgusting, flawless, lady. Thank you Annie Leibovitz!”.

In feedback to that, one male composed, “Currently, want explain to my other half, this is exactly what lovely females look like! Bargain Amy Shumer!”– in a remark that has gotten a green light greater than 15,000 people.

Mentioning her portrait– where she’s seen sitting on a stool, drinking coffee from a paper mug– Schumer states, “I felt I looked much more attractive compared to I’ve ever really felt in my life, and also I seemed like it appeared like me.”

Other women in the calendar has included Patti Smith, Tavi Gevinson, Yoko Ono and Shirin Neshat.
