Kostek’s full spread of images from the Portugal shoot was so flawless, you’d never know that it marked her first time modeling for the brand in the city streets instead of the beach. Taking to Instagram last July, the Connecticut native reflected on the experience while sharing behind the scenes snaps from set.

“This was my first time shooting in a city instead of a beach for the magazine… and in the rain 🌧 a memorable European shoot for the 60th anniversary issue♥️,” she wrote.

Kostek, who applied for the SI Swim Search after facing rejection from the modeling industry, is an inspiration for aspiring models who don’t want to change who they are and what they look like to be successful. “I just remember being in such a beautiful space mentally because of how much SI Swimsuit and the team had built me up,” she said of the casting call process. “Of being like, ‘We love you as you are. Your body is amazing like this,’ because when you go around these agencies in this industry, they’re teling you the opposite. So it was just so nice to kind of get the reassurance of like, ‘You’re awesome as you are.’”
