This year's Pirelli calendar may come as a surprise to some - but unusually it won't be because of the top models and exaggerated eroticism that we've come to expect in recent years thanks to photographers such as Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld and Mario Sorrenti. The 2014 edition is in fact a previously unpublished calendar that was shot by the late Helmut Newton - who passed away in 2004 - with the intention of releasing it in 1986.
