Hailey Clauson is an SI Swimsuit stalwart. The seven-time model made her debut in Kauai, Hawai’i in 2015 with photographer Yu Tsai. She landed on the cover the following year after her shoot with James Macari in Turks and Caicos.

The 28-year-old, who is the co-owner and creative director of Los Angeles based boutique modeling agency, Margeaux the Agency, was photographed in the Dominican Republic for the 2023 issue.

“I have been modeling for 15 years and I got this opportunity to become a partner of an agency and I thought it was a really unique opportunity, coming from somebody that’s been in the model’s shoes, using all my good and bad experiences with modeling agencies and being a model, kind of bringing that to the agency,” she recently told SI Swimsuit. “I really feel like I’m taking my power back in the industry, really making the change that I want to see.”

Below are six of our favorite photos from her debut shoot in Kauai, Hawai’i.
