wwd.comTHROWING A CURVE: If you’re trying to book a top model with some curves on short notice, good luck. Chances are, they’re in Paris at the Left Bank photo studio of Karl Lagerfeld as he shoots the next Pirelli calendar. While the designer and his entourage are sworn to secrecy on the casting — rumor has it one model posted a cell-phone picture on her blog and had to remove it, pronto — Lagerfeld let slip there are “three or four boys in it, too.” Members of Lagerfeld’s crew include makeup artist Peter Philips, hairstylist Sam McKnight and stylist George Cortina, and the four-day shoot is slated to wind up today. The sought-after calendar is to be unveiled in Moscow on Nov. 30 in front of 600 VIPs at the Stanislavsky theatre. Next up: Lagerfeld will put down his digital camera and move on to moving pictures. He’s zooming down to Saint-Tropez to shoot a minimovie for Chanel’s cruise show on May 11. It will feature model Heidi Mount and French actor Pascal Greggory.

from modelina.com , there is also a backstage photo :Karl Lagerfeld is one busy man. He’s currently holed up in a studio in Paris, shooting the brand new Pirelli calendar, which is set to include Isabeli Fontana, Heidi Mount, Bianca Balti, Natasha Poly, Iris Strubegger, Lara Stone, Elisa Sednaoui, and Magdalena Frackowiak. But right after creating magic in a studio, it’s time to switch his focus.
One thing will stay the same however. A favorite model of Karl’s, Heidi, will accompany him to Saint-Tropez for a bit of sun, fashion, and filming. You see, the Chanel designer has a cruise show to plan - and it wouldn’t be a Chanel show without a bit of over the top accouterments. He’s all ready to film a mini-movie for the collection which will debut on May 11 and is set to star Heidi, of course.
