Mumbai, July 7, 2006
- 12 beautiful girls. 6 weeks of exotic shoots. Only ONE coveted cover - the cover
of Sports Illustrated's famed annual Swimsuit Issue. With a combination of beauty,
athleticism and personality, one of the 12 will win a million-dollar modelling
contract, AND a glamorous appearance in the best-selling issue of any magazine
in the world. Lots of sunshine, slick bodies and exotic shoots…we promise
you'll be up for the challenge. Catch Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search
on STAR WORLD - starting July 11, Tuesdays at 10 p.m. This is also the
first model competition where the viewer gets to vote for the final winner. The
six-part series strongly focuses on what it takes to become a successful swimsuit
model aside from the eye candy. The twelve selected finalists will live in Los
Angeles where they will be widely tested on their physical fitness, mental endurance
and modelling skills. Whoever doesn't have what it takes, gets kicked off the
show - two by two every week.
When only two are left, they are flown off
to a luscious location to shoot a spread for Sports Illustrated. Nobody knows
who will win…until viewers vote for their favourite photo spread in the series
finale. Charged with the task of whittling down the field of hopeful models
is a three-judge panel, including former Sports Illustrated model Roshumba Williams,
NEXT Model Management President Joel Wilkenfeld and Sports Illustrated swimsuit
editor Jule Campbell. Who is going to walk away with world-renowned magazine
cover and waltz off with a million-dollar NEXT Model Management contract? The
fun is in finding out for yourself. Don't miss the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
