Pirelli has debuted a sneak peek of its 2025 Calendar featuring famous faces like Hunter Schafer, Jodie Turner-Smith, Padma Lakshmi, Simone Ashley, John Boyega, Connie Fleming, Vincent Cassel, Jenny Shimizu, and Hoyeon Jung.
For fashion fans, unveiling the Pirelli Calendar is always a major moment in the year, from the photographer’s announcement to its all-important celebrity stars. This year, the calendar was captured by Ethan James Green, and it has an even more impressive roster of names than the year before.
The New York-based photographer utilized themes of identity and sexuality, capturing each subject in “barely-there” clothing and skin-colored tones alongside suggestive poses and powerful stances. Green’s work “blends the blends the frankness of his native Midwest with the breadth and brilliance of his adopted city resulting in portraits of astonishing intimacy that capture and amplify the essence of his subjects,” read a statement from Pirelli. “Working in themes such as contemporary identity, sexuality and style, he has built a body of work singular in its depth and point of view.”
Green’s photography has appeared in magazines like The New Yorker, Time, Vogue and W. He’s also worked with designers including Versace, Tom Ford, Miu Miu and Dior.
Since 1964, the tire company has recruited celebrities and models to pose for its sultry 12-month spread. In this year’s edition, the calendar’s impressive lineup of stars including pose on land and sea, modeling barely-there garments in the Calendar’s grand tradition of nude and seminude photography.
