The annual Pirelli calender was released in full last week and we’ve got the ultimate preview for you. The Pirelli calender is an exclusive work of art featuring 25 nude photos photographed by famous photographers and filled with some of the world’s most beautiful models and actresses. The 2012 calender was shot in Corcsica by renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti. Mario was surprisingly the first ever Italian photographer to shoot the calender for Pirelli. You may recognize the faces of Edita Vilkeviciute (DNA), Isabeli Fontana (Women), Kate Moss (IMG), Lara Stone (IMG), Joan Smalls (IMG), Guinevere Van Seenus (Women), Malgosia Bela (Next) and Saskia de Brauw (DNA) above.

When asked about working with Mario, Natasha Poly revealed that ”he’s super cool and he always makes you laugh and creates a very comfortable situation where there is never pressure.” Lara Stone describes the calender as “more innocent-sexy”.

Unfortunately, pictures and clips are the closest any of us will get to this beautiful art piece. The calenders are shipped to a private mailing list and not up for sale. Just in case you’re interested, here’s a look at the making of the entire calender. 

Seeing these pictures (and the models live) for two-ish weeks has made me give up on my love affair with food. Pretty sure once I hang this in my apartment, it’ll 1) cause quite the stir and 2) make me never want to eat again.
