Sports Illustrated Knockouts:
Five Decades of Swimsuit Photography

The hardcover Sports Illustrated Knockouts: Five Decades of Swimsuit Photography celebrates the art of that uniquely American institution, the Sports Illustrated annual swimsuit issue. Beginning with the inaugural issue on January 24, 1964, which featured model Babette March in a modest four-page spread, Knockouts goes on to document the evolution of the swimsuit issue through five decades of models who, largely by virtue of their appearances here, became celebrities, including Elle Macpherson, Cheryl Tiegs, Tyra Banks, and Kathy Ireland.

Best of the Swimsuit Supermodels

The Best of the Swimsuit Supermodels is a compilation of swimsuit photography throughout the history of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Some of the models included in this 46 page magazine are Stephanie Seymour, Christie Brinkley, Kathy Ireland and 19 others.

The Best of the Swimsuit Supermodels (Hardcover)

Originally published in 1995, this hardcover book is a collection of the most famous supermodels to have appeared in the annual swimsuit issue. Supermodels include Kim Alexis, Christie Brinkley, Rachel Hunter, Kathy Ireland, Elle MacPherson, Paulina Porizkova, Cheryl Tiegs, and Vendela.

Quoting Jules Campbell's liner notes, "the nine models we chose to represent the legions were picked not only for their obvious physical beauty, but also because each of them is indelibly identified with Sports Illustrated. Each has contributed enormously to the success of the Swimsuit Issue and each has become a household name, in no small measure, because of the magazine."
