Pirelli has revealed that Ethan James Green shot the artwork for its 2025 Calendar.
As LDNFashion reports, the announcement was made on social media by Pirelli and Ethan James Green, with a video hinting at a return to sensuality: “It’s not really about what they are going to be wearing,” says Tonne Goodman, the stylist for the project. “It’s about what they are not going to be wearing…”
The Cal, as it’s known, was shot in the Miami Keys between May and June, and will be presented in London in November.
The Pirelli Calendar has been going since 1964 and is eagerly awaited by photography, fashion, and culture fans each year. Past photographers include heavyweights such as Herb Ritts, Peter Lindbergh, Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, Nick Knight, Patrick Demarchelier and Tim walker, to name a few.
Ethan James Green now joins the illustrious list of Pirelli photographers.
The Michigan-born, New York-based photographer 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. 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 founded New York Life Gallery in the fall of 2022. The Chinatown-based gallery invites visitors into a circle of downtown artists with exhibitions and programming that centres on emerging and mid-career artists, unknown archives, and 20th-century artworks.
His work has appeared in publications including Aperture, Arena Homme +, Dazed, Double Magazine, Foam Magazine, i-D, L’Uomo Vogue, M le Monde, Perfect, The New Yorker, Time, Vogue, Vogue Italia, W Magazine, and WSJ Magazine.
Green has also collaborated with a range of fashion labels, including Alexander McQueen, Dior, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Prada, Tom Ford, and Versace.
