Sexy Swimsuits
Published in Playboy in 1996, Sexy Swimsuits is a vivid four-model group portrait by Gen Nishino, photographed against a graffitied, crumbling wall in the Bahamas. Conceived as Playboy's answer to the mid-1990s popularity of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the image trades polished resort fantasy for something looser, brighter, and more rebellious.
The photograph gathers a notable lineup, including Petra Verkaik, one of the most prolific and popular models in Playboy history, and Alley Baggett, a longtime Special Editions favorite who helped find the location and shape the arrangement of the group. Nishino worked with the natural energy between the models, letting their interaction, humor, and movement become part of the image rather than forcing a rigid pose.
Nishino described his approach to working with a group:
I think there is more of a challenge working with one model.
In Sexy Swimsuits, four women occupy a weathered wall layered with graffiti, peeling paint, and tropical greenery. One poses low in the foreground in red heels and a patterned bikini bottom, while the others perch, lean, and frame themselves through the broken architecture behind her. Sun-warmed skin, rough stone, green foliage, and faded wall markings give the photograph its charge: a swimsuit fantasy made rougher, freer, and more alive by the place itself.
Photographed by Gen Nishino and preserved within the Playboy Legacy Collection, the work is part of the forty-eight-print archival edition released for Playboy's 50th anniversary.
