topless Serena Williams are among the powerful women featured in the new 2016 Pirelli Calendar, shot by famed photographer Annie Liebovitz for its 43rd edition released Monday.
Leibovitz, who was given free rein to cast the calendar, said in a press conference, “Pirelli came to me and told me they wanted to shift this year to something different. I made the suggestion that they do women performance artists or women comedians, almost a takeoff. I just thought of women I admired and I didn’t let anyone in the studio from Pirelli. It became a very strong set of very simple portraits. No one was supposed to look like they tried in these pictures.”The 43rd edition, features the likes of Serena Williams, Amy Schumer and Chinese actress Yao Chen.
