For me, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is dead and buried now. Flicking through the issue on the newsstand, I counted about three pictures that were vaguely good. The rest range from mediocre to weird and uncomfortable and finally grotesque. No-one expects the 1988 issue in this day and age but we're so far from that timeless beauty now, it's just a travesty. Rest In Peace.

Sexy ended back at the turn of the millennium. It's been a rapid decline since then. I simply cannot fathom some of the choices in this new issue. An obese girl and another with some skin disorder. I'm sure they're nice people but I don't want to see them wearing bikinis in a magazine. Last year was an all-time low (or so I thought until now). Also, why is SI still trying to make Kate Bock a thing? She was a one-issue wonder. Amazed to still see her here now in 2019. When people are saying Paulina's pics are amongst the best, a model whose time was back in the mid-late 1980s, you know your magazine is in trouble.

Those Hunter pics. Are you telling me this photoshoot is actually in the magazine? That's just wrong on so many levels.

This fairly took my breath away.

Thanks!!!!

Ah, these are lovely. Also great to see lots of new Elle Macpherson. I don't think she ever did very much runway so that's a rare surprise. I better get off here. I'll never get up for work otherwise.

I've seen some of those Ralph Lauren shots on the Internet maybe ten or fifteen years ago but never anywhere near this quality.

Elaine looks spectacular in these last shots. I think 1989 - 1991 was her best time. That face and those eyebrows.

God, that Hermes shot is so lovely. @ArianaVSCouture every day is like Christmas Day with you! 🎅

These last are really nice.

OMG. These are lovely.

Wow. That Chacok campaign is nice. never seen that before.

Great picture, sanja. Thanks!

@zauberkornThese are great but the last image does not seem to be available.

@versustito13 I thought you might like these, sorry about the quality. I don't have a scanner. Marie Claire Japan November 1989.

@brazilianaffair I found it, thanks. Re-PM's.

great pictures. I nearly bought that Saks Fifth Avenue catalog on eBay last year but the seller wanted a ridiculous sum of money for something that would have once been given out for free in the store.

Stunning. Love the Jil Sander set.

Wow. I can't keep up.

Agreed. So many lovely pics. Right-Click, Save. Right-Click, Save. Right-Click, Save. 😀

These are all awesome. Thanks.

I don't know if this has been posted in this thread or any other but there is nice lot of Gail in these from a Private Backstage Party in March 1992. All of the big names from that era are there - Yasmin Le Bon, Gail Elliott, Linda Evangelista, Nadja Auermann, Claudia Schiffer, Tatjana Patitz, Heather Stewart-Whyte, Claudia Mason, Susan Holmes, Nadege, Naomi Campbell, and Yasmeen Ghauri. Kind Regards

I thought it was always February. Did they change it up this year?
