This year's edition will launch online on Feb. 9 and in print
on Feb. 10, the magazine said. It is the most widely read
edition each year of the magazine, which is published by Time
Inc.
Sports Illustrated, which was first published in 1954, developed
the swimsuit edition to help the magazine's slow sales in the
wintertime.
It has previously featured the likes of Heidi Klum, Elle
Macpherson, Tyra Banks and Kate Upton early in their careers.
