Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley's three straight Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers would be enough for most careers, but what interests me is everything she built afterward. Twenty-five years as the face of CoverGirl and more than five hundred magazine covers point to something beyond photogenic luck: consistency, professionalism, and a shrewd understanding of her own brand. She turned the fleeting currency of modeling into a durable business, which very few of her contemporaries managed. I also appreciate that her public image has always leaned sunny and self-possessed rather than aloof. She effectively redefined the American model as an entrepreneur, and that template still shapes the industry today.
