Model Karlie Kloss is rumored to be one of the models that will be featured in the Pirelli Calendar 2013, which according to Pirelli is going to be a "whole lot less naked."

The Pirelli Calendar 2013 is known worldwide for its risque, nude photographs of top super models. However, this year the exclusive calendar will stray away from one of its trademark nude spreads and come up with something a "whole lot less naked."

Famous war photographer Steve McCurry has been choosen to shoot next year's calendar. McCurry says he wants to "portray women who are sexy without being naked." For all those who are not familiar with the name McCurry, he shot the famous "Portrait of a Girl With Green Eyes" for the 1985 National Geographic magazine cover.

Being a part of this calendar is a big deal for both models and photographers. The highly elusive calender is given away as corporate gifts and not available for purchase. The calendar has a history of featuring only top celebrities and models and getting only but the best photographers to do the job. Some of the photographers include Mario Sorrenti, Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld, and Richard Avedon.

Top models like Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen and Spohia Loren have been part of this project and if rumors are to be believed, Kloss will  be the latest addition to this list. The 19-year-old model, has already created a buzz in the fashion industry and is considered one of the top models. The website Models, ranked Kloss as No. 3 on their list of top 50 models and Vogue Paris included her in their list of top 30 models of the 2000s. Kloss has worked with nearly all fashion's top guns like Versace, Louis Vuitton and Dior.
