To be a Pirelli Calendar girl is the equivalent of getting a pair of Victoria Secret wings. It signals to the world that a model has made it in the industry. Although some people will liken a Pirelli Calendar Girl to a Playboy bunny, there is a huge difference. The notoriety alone that circulates the annual calendar is enough to set them apart.
For 2015, the Pirelli Calendar girls include models Gigi Hadid, Candice Huffine, Carolyn Murphy, Cameron Russell, Isabeli Fontana, Adriana Lima, Raquel Zimmermann, Karen Elson, Joan Smalls, Natalia Vodianova, Sasha Luss and Anna Ewers. Striking very risque poses, they were shot by photographer Steven Meisel and conform to different themes for each month.
