Since 1964, the Italy-based tire company Pirelli & C. SpA has photographed some of the world’s most beautiful and popular models for its annual limited edition pin-up calendar, widely known as ‘The Cal’, becoming a trademark for western culture, inacessible luxury and female stereotypes.

Natalia Vodianova / This much I know / 'I have an animal sense for danger’

THIS MUCH I KNOW

'I have an animal sense for danger’

Natalia Vodianova

Poverty is humiliation. You feel like there is something wrong with you, not with society, especially as a child. You see other children who are happy and you think it must be so incredible. You daydream a lot about not being yourself. Maybe that helped me model.


Boys in my school in Nizhny Novgorod hated me. I was unhealthily skinny because sometimes we had nothing to eat. They used to draw me like a stick. And the stigma against my sister [Oksana, who has cerebral palsy and autism] brushed off on me. They called me dirty.



I have an animal sense for danger and make decisions based on intuition. I arrived in Paris at 17, but changed agencies within the week. On the second night, I was taken to a nightclub with some guys. Nothing happened, but I was a young girl so I liked young guys, and these were not young guys. A day or two later the Viva model agency said: “If you ever want to change…” and I was like: “Yes, right now.”
