For the 2022 SI Swimsuit Issue, our team traveled to seven beautiful locations. USVI St. Thomas was our sixth stop of the year, and we couldn’t have been more entranced by the beauty of the island and its people. In St. Thomas we worked with photographer Laretta Houston, and with SI Swimsuit models and WNBA players Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird, Te’a Cooper, Didi Richards and Nneka Ogwumike, and stayed at the always classy Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas.
