Here's Your First Look at This Year's Pirelli Calendar
info@hypebae.com (Hypebae) Mon, 11 Aug 2025 HypebaeLast year's Pirelli calendar was a big one, featuring everyone from Hunter Schafer to John Boyega. At the time, we thought to ourselves, how can this insane roster of talent possibly be topped? But we've just had a first look behind the scenes of 2026's iteration and we'll admit, it's pretty special.
Featuring names like FKA twigs, Tilda Swinton, Venus Williams and Irina Shayk, this year's calendar has been captured by Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbo, shot in locations across Norfolk, Essex and New York City.
"For the 2026 Calendar, I want to capture emotions, instincts and states of mind that's central to human life so: longing for freedom, curiosity, thirst of knowledge, I guess you can call it. Some kind of mystery, imagination, passions, the desire for emancipation, the connection with nature and our relationship with time and space. It's a way of connecting us to something that we come from. Very big issues, but you know, let's try to be ambitious," says Sundsbo of his inspiration.
Take an early look at the BTS of this year's Pirelli calendar above and stay tuned for the official release.
