The Super-Models of Sports Illustrated

At Odabash we are constantly looking back through the old pages of magazines like Vogue and Elle to gather inspiration that we can fine tune into more current designs for our avid swimwear fans! Recently, while hunting for inspiration for a top secret collaboration, we've been drawn to the pages of the Sports Illustrated 80's and 90's issues. Its amazing how things change, from the swimwear, to the ideals of beauty that these magazines exude. It's such a shame to us how the ideal that fashion adopts now is one of 'Size 0' and super skinny models. Melissa has always been a huge fan of working out and eating well and healthy, and what better role models to have than the ones below, from Cindy Crawford, to Elle MacPherson, embrace your curves and tone those abs! While you're at it hike up those legs girls and channel some serious 80's and 90's chic!
