This three-time SI Swimsuit model has had an exciting year so far, recently gracing SI Swimsuit’s 2025 issue as one of four cover models. A passionate size-inclusion advocate and former features editor for Glamour, Chan is no stranger to the worlds of fashion and modeling. She is also a talented writer, having penned an essay titled For the Girls: Celebrating the Evolution of SI Swimsuit, which was also published in SI Swimsuit’s 2025 issue.
Hosted at the W South Beach on May 30 and May 31, SI Swimsuit’s runway show at Swim Week was a must-see event for those wanting to learn about the hottest swimwear trends of this summer. The brand also hosted several other exciting events apart from the runway show, which include a brunch presented by MINI, a Beach Club presented by Coppertone, a VIP dinner party where guests tasted some of the best dishes Miami has to offer, as well as an Apres Swimsuit Pool Party.
