Marshall,
'The Feminist
Calendar 2016'
—
The Idea:
Marshall's
'feminist'
take on Pirelli's
highly coveted
annual 'pin-up'
calendar
explores self
-objectification
as an act of
empowerment,
and proposes
that women
can celebrate
their bodies,
their sexuality,
and their
agency at the
same time.
Side 1:
Embraces sex,
power and
consumerism.
Side 2:
Strips away
the superficial
adornments of
traditional female
beauty in favor
of a more raw,
barefaced
femininity.
Andrea on
Pirelli's new
format:
"I think they're
saying that if
you're beautiful
and you're a
model, you
can take your
clothes off.
But, if you're
influential and
smart, you
should keep
your clothes
on... I think
that's two sides
of the same coin.
I think that
there are a lot
of women who
are sexy and
who want to be
viewed as sexual."
