'Super-hot' 2015 Pirelli calendar unveiled

The 42nd edition of the iconic 2015 Pirelli calendar was recently unveiled and it is hotter than the previous one, it has been revealed.

The legendary photographer Steven Meisel captured a list of some of the most beautiful women in the world over a five-day shoot last May in New York City for the calendar, the Huffington Post reported.

It features supermodels Joan Smalls, Adriana Lima, Natalia Vodianova and newcomer Gigi Hadid, the daughter of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Yolanda Foster, among others. In addition, Candice Huffine was snapped again after becoming the first-ever plus-size model in the calendar in 2014.

Meisel stated that according to him these are the key aesthetic models of today's world as they represent the stereotypes that the fashion and star system impose upon us right now.

It was a very rewarding experience as he didn't wanted to make a conceptual calendar, or link it to some particular location, but rather to create 12 posters in which women, in all their sensuality, are the absolute protagonists of 12 very different images.
