War Photographer Steve McCurry To Shoot 2013 Pirelli Calendar, Karlie Kloss Rumored to Be In It

The Pirelli calendar, known for its artsy and very naked photographs of celebs and models, shot, usually, by fashion photographers like Mario Sorrenti (who did last year’s), Terry Richardson, or Karl Lagerfeld, is headed in a very different direction for 2013.

Steve McCurry, an acclaimed photojournalist best known for that haunting National Geographic photo of the Afghan girl with green eyes, has been confirmed as the photographer. But who are his 12 muses? Modelinia is reporting a rumor that Karlie Kloss has signed on to the project.

Karlie Kloss naked is nothing new. The model caused a lot of controversy when she posed nude for Steven Meisel in Vogue Italia, and frequent appearances on runways. But if she is involved, she may not be nude.

Photographer McCurry said, “I want to portray women who are sexy without being naked.” The shoot had been scheduled for May in Brazil, so the portraits are most likely in the can.
