Each winter, Sports Illustrated magazine whisks its readers away with an annual swimsuit issue that, since its 1964 inception, has become a cultural institution. The video Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 1999 documents the creation of the fabled periodical. With a new millennium looming, Sports Illustrated goes all-out this time, rounding up—and stripping down (to bikinis)—the most awe-inspiring supermodels ever known to humanity, including Laetitia Casta, Heidi Klum, Eva Herzigova, Rebecca Romijn, Niki Taylor, and Audrey Quock.
