The 50th edition of the iconic Pirelli calendar is here, and it's a bold and beautiful celebration of women and the female gaze. Renowned photographer Emma Summerton captured 28 images of 14 female celebrities for the calendar, including actresses Nicole Kidman, Cara Delevingne, and Bella Hadid, model Emily Ratajkowski, and singer Rosalía. The resulting images are stunning and diverse, featuring the women in various states of undress and in a range of poses and settings. Some of the images are playful and glamorous, while others are more intimate and introspective. In an interview with Vogue, Summerton said that she wanted to create a calendar that was "a celebration of women, by women." She said she was inspired by the work of female photographers such as Cindy Sherman and Annie Leibovitz, and that she wanted to create images that were "powerful and empowering." The Pirelli calendar has been published annually since 1964, and it has featured some of the world's most famous models and actresses. However, this year's edition is different from previous ones in that it was shot entirely by a female photographer and features only female subjects. This shift reflects a growing trend in the fashion industry towards greater diversity and inclusion. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for more female photographers and models, and for images that are more representative of the diversity of the world's population. The 50th-anniversary edition of the Pirelli calendar is a powerful and beautiful celebration of women and the female gaze. It is a testament to the growing diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry, and it is sure to be one of the most talked-about calendars of the year.
