Danish model Josephine Skriver first posed for the SI Swimsuit Issue in 2020, when she traveled to the Dominican Republic with photographer Kate Powers. The stunning images that resulted from the collaboration in the Caribbean resulted in Skriver earning Rookie of the Year honors.

The 30-year-old returned to the fold in both ’21 and ’22, and her work with the brand took her to Sacramento, Calif., and Montenegro. Skriver is known for her time as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, and has also collaborated with notable brands like Armani, Balmain, Gucci, Max Mara, Tom Ford, Calvin Klein and Rag & Bone.

Today, Skriver is a proud mom of one. She and her husband, musician Alexander DeLeon, welcomed a daughter named Aurora last summer. She’s also the cofounder of JOJA, an activewear brand she founded with fellow supermodel and best friend Jasmine Tookes.

“JOJA is a woman-owned brand that designs with attention to detail, keeping women’s bodies in mind,” Skriver told us of the company last year. “We believe that every detail matters, and we put great effort into every aspect of our designs, from selecting the right materials to stitching each piece with precision. Our goal is to create clothing that is both fashionable and practical, making every woman feel confident and beautiful.”

In honor of the multihyphenate’s continued success across various verticals, we’re throwing it back to a few of our favorite images from Skriver’s rookie photoshoot in the Dominican Republic.
