Pictures taken by Karl Lagerfeld are very sophisticated; the designer-photographer deliberately chose not to use a trivial and exotics backgrounds (as Richardson did for the 2010 edition). His pictures are in a strict black and white, inspired by the mythological Greek-Roman gods, without special background and with a perfect light. Everything was made in his Paris studio in less than 3 days.
In this calendar, women goes almost to the background, they are overshadowed by the beautiful physical presence of Baptiste Giabiconi (model favored by Karl) and Jake Davis: one depicting Apollo, portrayed in all his glory with only a silver shell to cover it all; and the other is Bacco.
Gorgeous Erin Wasson and the 50-year-old Julianne Moore: one in the role of Ajax and the other plays Juno.
The erotic charge of these pictures is amazing, nothing to do, as Karl Lagerfeld said, with trivial eroticism "made of lace and garters".
