2018 SI Swimsuit

Hmm, I hope we’ll find out when this happened. Maybe it could explain her acting shady about Ashley Graham being on the cover of SI. Often that kind of stuff comes from a place of hurt. “I was told I was fat and didn’t get the job, but she is way bigger than I am and now she is on the cover of SI!”

^ Ashley has also been in other notable fashion publications so it could be bitterness and resentment even if the reasonings don't seem very valid

Nina also shared an image from that particular photoshoot

Quote

So, shame on you and thank you to the publisher for reaffirming how important it is to live your truth and say it out loud, no matter who you are or what size. I decided to release an image to draw awareness and support of an issue that's bigger than just myself and affects so many people not just in the fashion industry, but in general, with the goal of bringing women from all over together in a celebration of our bodies. Let's find ways to build each other up instead of constantly finding ways to tear each other down.

That is NOT SI, folks!

Can we please keep Nina pictures to a bare minimum  

What an unnecessary comment  

I'm happy Nina is having so much support for this

Finally 

More new blood coming in 

Nina spilled! It was Venice Magazine that rejected her: https://venicemagftl.com/

Oh my....

Nina not being in SI who is known for being the most positive  magazine about body image  makes me sad

Ok, I gotta ask the tired question of, “Who do you think should get the cover?” but I’d like to read what would make someone a good cover model. I think the days of SI launching a cover model into superstardom are pretty much over unless one has the kind of instant star quality and mass appeal as someone like Kate Upton. I think most cover models need to have an interest that would set them apart from all the other models (like Chrissy with cooking, Ashley with body positivity advocacy) Recent cover models without a clear POV haven’t become household names in the same way.

She is. I hope she gets the cover because I’ve been envisioning her getting it on her third year. First year Rookie of the Year, second year a shoot that wowed everyone, her third year the year she gets the cover.

I need to see her on the cover to believe it  she doesn't have the look for the cover imo and I mean she looks too young, same reason why Gigi never get the cover after all but since there isn't much competition this time maybe she willl be more lucky

I want a Lais cover.

Wasn’t Paulina Porizkova really young when she got the cover? Men love them young-looking
