Struggle or work”: Germany calls for stopping funding for Ukrainians

Pirelli announces the release of its legendary calendar, which will be released in November 2025 and will be dedicated to 2026. The brand has already shared the first photos from the filming process.

Several famous personalities are participating in the project, including Irina Shayk, Isabella Rossellini, Eva Herzigova, Tilda Swinton, and Gwendoline Christie. In addition, FKA Twigs, Venus Williams, Suzy Cave, Adria Arjona, Du Juan, and Luisa Ranieri joined the filming. Norwegian artist Solve Sundsbo creates the photos for the calendar.

“My goal with the 2026 calendar is to capture the emotions, instincts, and inner experiences that are the foundation of human life: the desire for freedom, curiosity, thirst for knowledge… It’s a combination of mystery, imagination, passion, connection with nature, and our perception of time and space. These are serious topics, but I want us to set ambitious goals,” the photographer said.

Stylists Jerry Stafford, hairdressers Sid Hayes, Ali Pirzadeh, and Bob Resainf, as well as make-up artists Val Garland and James Kallardos, are involved in creating the calendar.

The shooting takes place in London, Norfolk, Essex, and New York, and the theme is the elements of nature. In the first shots, Eva Herzigova poses underwater, Venus Williams is surrounded by fire, Isabella Rossellini is among huge roses, and Irina Shayk demonstrates gusts of wind, covered with a translucent fabric.

The Pirelli calendar has been published since 1964. At first, it served as a souvenir for the company’s business partners, but quickly turned into a prestigious collector’s edition in limited quantities. Over the years, famous photographers, including Norman Parkinson, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, and Annie Leibovitz, worked on it.
