Marisa Miller
Model
Marisa Miller is a strawberry blonde surferturnedmodel. According to
Sports Illustrated, she was discovered in 2001 by fashion photographer Mario Testino, who took pictures of her riding the waves in California. The next year she appeared in the
Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and she has since appeared on the covers of
Vogue, Fitness and Shape, among other highprofile magazines. (Her athletic West Coast look is reminiscent of another
SI model, Christie Brinkley.) Miller also modelled for the ad campaigns of
Tommy Hilfiger and has made frequent appearances in the Victoria's Secret lingerie catalogs.
