Since posting this perscriptives video our adolescent fascination with supermodels has returned. When news was delivered to the SPOT inbox that no less than 6 IMG models were populating the pages of the new Swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated (on newsstands yesterday) we thought, 'they may not be Claudia, Cindy, Linda, Naomi, Helena, and Shalom but we'll still adore them!' Deets on each girl, below.
With six girls included in the book, more than any other agency and a record for IMG Models, Ivan Bart, Senior Vice President of IMG Models gushed, “We couldn’t be more proud of our line-up of clients in this years Swimsuit Issue.
