Pirelli has revealed that Steve McCurry will photograph the 2013 edition of its annual calendar. McCurry said he wanted to "portray women who are sexy without being naked."

So which 12 women will serve as his muses? Karlie Kloss is rumored to be on the list, but no other names have been announced so far.

McCurry is best known as a photojournalist, and rose to fame after shooting the well-known 1985 National Geographic cover photo known as Portrait of a Girl With Green Eyes. In shooting the Pirelli calendar, McCurry joins a list of esteemed photographers that includes Mario Sorrenti — who shot last year's calendar — Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld, and Richard Avedon.

"American Idols" Pose For New Issue of V Magazine

>> In its upcoming Americana-themed issue, V Magazine has dedicated an entire editorial to homegrown beauties like Karlie Kloss, Christie Brinkley, and Arizona Muse.
V Mag American Idols Spread Stars Karlie Kloss, Arizona Muse

>> In its upcoming Americana-themed issue, V Magazine has dedicated an entire editorial to homegrown beauties like Karlie Kloss, Christie Brinkley, and Arizona Muse.

Called "American Idols," the collection of photos features some of the USA's biggest supermodels wearing pre-Fall clothing by some of its greatest designers. Brinkley dons a jacket and pants from Ralph Lauren while Dree Hemingway wears an Alexander Wang bodysuit on the opposite page. Carol Alt smolders in Michael Kors, and Elaine Irwin stands next to her in Donna Karan. But perhaps it's not how the models look as much as what they say about America that makes the spread so special.

"I've done it all," Brinkley says. "Worked at 31 Flavors, walked runways, been a rodeo queen, Broadway. Only in America!"


The Americana issue of V debuts on May 10. For now, take a peek at the spread in the gallery.

Watch — Karlie Kloss Vamps in Extremely Lascivious New Fashion Video

>> You've never seen Karlie Kloss like this before.

>> You've never seen Karlie Kloss like this before. The 19-year-old supermodel in waiting landed a starring role in the first of SHOWStudio's new Fashion Fetish series. Kloss's video, entitled F*ck Me, features Kloss rolling around in lingerie and cracking a dominatrix's whip.

The video teeters along the verge of pornographic territory, suggesting and intimating sex and foreplay without actually showing it. And that's the point — Fashion Fetish is a supplement to SHOWStudio's newest exhibit Selling Sex, which examines sex and "what a woman's version of a woman looks like." Other famous women in fashion, like Lady Amanda Harlech, Daphne Guinness, models Lily Donaldson and Liberty Ross, and former Pop magazine editor Dasha Zhukova, will star in forthcoming videos.

But for now, there's Karlie. Take a look at her video below.
