The Cal 2022
Lovers of Pirelli calendars, rejoice! The Cal is back after a forced break in 2021 with new pictures and a whole new project to stun the audience. It's the Pirelli calendar 2022 and here are the exlusive leaks on what it will look like. As discovered by Il Giornale d'Italia, the official announcement will take place in an exclusive live streaming event streamied globally. The new Pirelli calendar will also feature a special soundtrack by artist and photographer Bryan Adams titled "On the Road", the same name of the photoshoot.
There will be no nudes and sexy poses in the photoshoot by canadian artist Bryan Adams, 61, who has envisioned a whole progressive concept titled "On the road". The calendar will be released next november 2022. Pictures from the set in Los Angeles have been leaked by the press and show an array of gorgeously talented musicians pose for The Cal and share the memories of their industry through images. Another photoshoot has taken place in Capri, at the Hotel La Scalinatella.
After skipping out in 2021 because of the Coronavirus pandemic, "The Cal" is back and fiercer than ever with a revolutionary project signed by songwriter and photographer Bryan Adams. The renowned cult calendar will feature an outstanding list of famous musicians posing as models and a set specifically built to avoid any harm to the participants. The theme (which had already been chosen back in 2020) will be "On the road", a tribute to the long lost concept of traveling and living the rock life on the road, to seizing the moment wrapped in the freedom that the whole world seems to have lost a year and a half ago.
Not just pretty faces, Pirelli says no to nude content in what seems like a tragedy to many long time fans of "The Cal". But in the post-metoo world vthere is no space for controversies and the creators have decided to stay clear of any scandals. "It is not allowed anymore, so we had to move forward", said Adams during an interview.Other than the already surprising element of the lack of nudity, a step forward in the recognition of different beauty standards in the modeling industry, the new Pirelli calendar is making the headlines for the presence of an unlikely muse: a man. But not just any man, it is the king of hard rock Iggy Pop himself, and we can't wait to see what the result will look like.
The open road, the freedom of a pre-pandemic life, the lust of a simple gaze. These are the pillars of the new Pirelli calendar as envisioned by Bryan Adams. A photoshoot that doesn't require revealing poses and inexplicable promiscuity to communicate true sensuality. According to Adams, the real strenght of his photographs lies in the looks, in the memories that every shot is trying to tell the audience, in the feelings the photoshoot provokes in both the artist and the model. It is voyeurism at its finest in this traveling concept that breaks all norms and aims to surprise. A chance for us all to admire, or at least to imagine, a world where the pleasure of living freely it's tied to the black and white image.
A journey "on the road" that wants to be a beacon of hope after a year and a half of restrictions and darkness. "We were supposed to shoot last year but because of the pandemic we had to stop - said Bryan Adams during an interview on set - the concept is the same, we merely extended it to both men and women and focused on the music instead".You heard it right. There will be a man in the Pirelli calendar 2022. But not just any man. Alongside the impeccable Cher there is someone who for fame and talent is (almost) her equal: the king of hard rock Iggy Pop. Besides them also young artists such as Rita Ora or the Rapper Sweetie.
The location? The Palace Theatre and the Chateau Marmont Hotel of Los Angeles. The choice of the photo set was made according to the Covid-19 restriction still in place in the United States, and it took into account the fact that many musicians are from that area. Another photoshoot has taken place in the beautiful island of Capri, at the Hotel La Scalinatella. Other artists present in The Cal 2022 include: Cher, Grimes, Rita Ora, Bohan Phoenix, Jennifer Hudson, Iggy Pop, Saweetie, St. Vincent, Kali, Uchis and Elon Musk's wife.
