Excerpt from Esquire Magazine….”So here it is, our final re-creation of a classic Esquire cover in celebration of our seventy-fifth anniversary. After the first three — Victoria’s Secret models in Angie Dickinson sweaters (February), Jessica Simpson in shaving cream (May), and Stephen Colbert in martyrdom (August) — we knew we needed a worthy finale. So we turned to one of our most iconic covers, the valedictory December 2000 image of President Bill Clinton taken by the photographer Platon. We wanted to recapture the confidence, charm, and power of that image, but with an even handsomer subject: 2008′s Sexiest Woman Alive, Halle Berry.”
