Pirelli's Mythology

A year ago Terry Richardson made of Brasil the Eden. Now it was time for Mr. Lagerfeld to be the creative mind and photographer behind the 38th edition of the Pirelli Calendar for 2011. This time the theme was “Mythology”, featuring Lagerfeld’s protégé Baptiste Giabiconi as Apollo, Julianne Moore as Hera and an imponent Daria Werbowy as Artemis among other recognized models like Freja Beha, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Erin Wasson, Heidi Mount, etc. The same Lagerfeld said “actresses and models bring these new heroes to life and depict a new concept of the beautiful” and he wasn’t wrong. These individuals are the contemporary symbol of human beauty, this time, representing the classic civilizations and the Old World. 36 photos, 24 subjects, and a Hasselblad made of this one a beautiful calendar.
