“On Monday, a new kind of Pirelli calendar was unveiled for 2016, showcasing 12 months of fully clad women (mostly) chosen for their achievements. Though the calendar has, on rare occasions, featured women in clothes, this is the first time there is no provocation in the posing, and the first time the attraction of the subjects is in their résumés, not their measurements.” – Excerpt from the forward of the calendar, Yao Chen.
