"Sorry, easily aroused male readers, but the Pirelli calendar is a modest proposal for 2013. Usually nude, the models in the Italian tire company\u2019s new edition are either clothed, pregnant, or not models at all.Putting away the T&amp;amp;A is a bold departure for the Cal, as Pirelli calls&amp;nbsp;it. Typically, a photographer (always male, usually straight) travels to a steamy locale with 12 or so models of the voluptuous variety and shoots them in the buff. Think Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, but without the swimsuits.&amp;nbsp;Last year Mario Sorrenti photographed Lara Stone and Kate Moss, among other supes, communing with nature in Corsica and leaving little to the imagination. Previously,&amp;nbsp;Terry Richardson shot models,&amp;nbsp;as naked as they day they were born,&amp;nbsp;frolicking in a rainforest and playing with animals.But with a new photographer comes a new vision. For 2013, Pirelli commissioned Steve Mccurry, not known among fashion circles but well known for his photojournalism, including his Afghan Girl image that appeared on a 1985 cover of National Geographic. With Rio de Janeiro as his location, he lensed models (Karlie Kloss,&amp;nbsp;Isabeli Fontana, Petra Nemcova, and an expecting Adriana Lima), actresses (Elisa Sednaoui, Sonia Braga), and singer Marisa Monte \u2014 some of them Brazilian, all of them dressed. The subjects&amp;nbsp;were chosen for their charity work more than anything else. Clearly, nudity would send the wrong message, and in some cases a charity deals specifically with&amp;nbsp;women\u2019s rights in developing countries, where nudity is too taboo a topic to toy with.McCurry said of the&amp;nbsp;shoot:&amp;nbsp;\u201CI would say I am a street photographer doing \u2018found situations.\u2019 You can photograph nudes anywhere. But these models are&amp;nbsp;clothed, and each of them has her own charity. They are purposeful and idealistic people. So I wanted to photograph them in a&amp;nbsp;special place, and Rio was perfect for this\u2026&amp;nbsp;I tried to portray Brazil, its landscape, its economy&amp;nbsp;and its culture, along with the human element.\u201DLee Carter is editor-in-chief of&amp;nbsp;Hint Fashion Magazine.Visit&amp;nbsp;Artinfo.com/fashion&amp;nbsp;for more fashion and style news.&amp;nbsp;BLOUIN Fashion is now on Twitter.
