After wading through the tear sheets and headshots of countless ambitious models, treats! magazine founder Steve Shaw and French photographer David Bellemere have decided on 12 fresh faces to feature in their new project, an erotic fine-arts photography calendar NU MUSES.
NU MUSES takes inspiration from the ’70s-era Pirelli Calendar, but has upgraded the babe-a-month formula for a more modern sensibility. Also, they exclusively feature unknowns.
treats!, after all, was the magazine that gave a then-unknown Emily Ratajkowski a chance, allowing for her ascension to global superstardom.
These “new muses” are as diverse as they are beautiful. See which 12 newcomers made the cut, below:
