DESCRIPTION:
ports 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.Besides assembling a selection of the best photographs in book form for the first time, Knockouts offers an ample selection of outtakes and other previously unpublished photos, various quotes from models, photographers, art directors, and commentaries on the logistical and technical aspects of the shoots and the exotic ports of call in which they were staged.
Stunning photography Amazon Customer Love this, stunning photography!! Makes me wish I was back in that time. "Wow!" according to A Customer. I think this is a beautiful collection of some of the all time great SI Swimsuit photographs, reproduced as never before; large, and on great paper. Frank deFord has written a really interesting history of how the SI Swimsuit edition got started. But basically it's about the photographs - lots and lots of them. I have missed Kathy , Stacy, Elle, and all the other SI Swimsuit greats, now I have them all in one stunning edition. A great gift for any guy.. Magnificant girls, lousy binding sonnojoi The women in this book are sexy and classy. It can't be easy to combine dignity and a bikini but they manage. The binding seems kind of weak.
