(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 12 - The 2025 edition of the iconic Pirelli calendar is celebrating its 61th birthday with a return to nudity - photographed through a contemporary lens.
    Shot in Miami's Historic Virginia Key Beach Park by young American photographer Ethan James Green, with stylist Tonne Goodman, a former fashion editor at US Vogue, the Pirelli calendar was presented at London's Natural History Museum on Tuesday.
    The 24 photos of Refresh and Reveal portray 12 talents of different ages, including Indian-American author and TV presented Padma Lakshimi, 54, French film star Vincent Cassel, 57, trans US actor Hunter Schafer, 25, Italian singer Elodie, 34, and the 34-year-old photographer himself, whose nude photo represents the month of November.
    The epitome of classic sexiness, which first appeared in 1964, the calendar features an Elodie who has "an immediate freshness in exuding all that life we wanted our talents to express without clothes", Ethan James Green said of the calendar's models during the presentation in London, describing to ANSA the 2025 edition as "untraditional".
    "When I accepted to make it, I thought that Pirelli had a history I could interpret, because this calendar is a symbol of sensuality, and at the same time change it" through images that are "natural, raw, savage". (ANSA).
