The backstage of the famous Pirelli Calendar, version 2023, was revealed in the photos with the models chosen to pose for Emma Summerton, who signs the photos of the edition. The title of the year is “Love letters to the Muse “ and has famous models like Cara Delevingne, Ashley Graham, Bella Hadid, Karlie Kloss, among others. In all, there are 14 fashion muses who embody characters such as the activist, the writer, the programmer, the wise woman, the painter, the musician, among other activities.
The photos for the 49th edition of the calendar were taken in New York, and in London, between June and July, and from what the behind-the-scenes images show, the atmosphere ranges from dreamy to sexy. According to the promotional material, the concept centers on fictional characters and archetypes that have inspired the photographer throughout her life, including her mother.
“Since the beginning of my career with photography, I have always been guided by who is the Woman in my image. Where is she from? Where do you want to go? Who loves? How do you love her? What moves you? How do you imagine yourself in the world? How does it become its own imagination? First I ask myself these questions and then I project them onto the story I am trying to tell or the emotion I hope to convey. The intention is to inspire the viewer to open their mind and dream with me, “explained the Australian photographer.
“I noticed Emma Summerton’s work because her images represent a dreamlike and magical world, very rich in color and imagination. And because we live in an age where the” real “and the” unreal “meet with ever greater frequency, she seemed the perfect artist to interpret this moment “, said Marco Tronchetti Provera, Executive Vice President and CEO of Pirelli.
