Ten Questions For Bar Refaeli!

Bar Refaeli's is making her way from model to designer.

The 26-year-old Israeli born supermodel has created a new lingerie line, Under.Me, and is showing off her skills in front of the camera as well as behind.

The line has yet to launch, but we are expecting great things because who knows more about the importance of an exceptional fit of under garments than a woman who changes clothes for a living.

We caught up with Bar to discuss her new line, and ask her some other burning questions we're dying to know the answers to.

Check out our exclusive below!

1. How did your underwear line come about?

I wanted to make my own line for quit some time now. A friend of mine, Dudi came to me with this idea- to make an ecommerce website for basic underwear.. Since it was what I wanted to do anyhow, and he even upgraded the idea, we partnered and created Under.Me

2. What has been your favorite part of the design process?

My least favorite one is choosing the grey. Its amazing how many shades of grey there are! It can make you crazy.. But my favorite is to see it all come together. Get a sample of a tshirt and make little changes.... Longer, shorter.. Tighter... And then see the result, the final product! That's a great feeling of achievement.

3. Is there a lingerie designer you look up to for inspiration?

Part of the reason I wanted to make an underwear line is because I would go buy underwear one place, bras at another.. Leggings etc.. And I felt the need to have one place where I could go in and by alll my basics!

4. One beauty secret all women should know?

Confidence is the most beautiful, attractive thing in the world. You can look like a million dollars, have the best style but no attitude, no self confidence, and it will ruin everything. And on the other end, you can wear sweatpants and no make up but be so happy with yourself, and that's to me is the secret of beauty!

5. Best looking man in underwear?

I can never forget Freddie Lumbergs CK underwear ads!

6. A celeb who’s wardrobe you envy?

I can't say I'm envy at her clothes but I love how Cameron Diaz always wear simple basics and she looks cheecky and sexy.

7. Besides your new line, what other ambitions do you have outside of modeling?

I am a simple girl, all I want is to have a family and raise children.

8. Your go-to designer?

I never leave Stella Mccartney's store empty handed.

9. Most memorable moment of your career?

The cover of SI 2009. Coming from Israel, such a small country, always dreaming about being in the issue- being on the cover of the issue, was unreal. I felt like I made a childhood dream come true.. And than some.

10. Valentine's Day: 3 things a girl can do to make their Valentine's Day memorable?

I'm not the most romantic girl you would meet So... For me it's not important for it to be memorable.

I like the little gestures and surprised between a couple. The ones that will make u smile and excited for that moment. Not necessarily for life.

[Valentina P.]

Wish Nadal-Refaeli couple was real I like the shoots a lot but absolutely hate this porn videos when you open the page :yuckky:

[Birkin]

This year's sports illustrated photos are unwatchable. The photoshop editor should be fired asap. I like watching real women , not some plastic cartoons. And the worst is it happens with all models

Bar looks gorgeous, but the photoshop ruined the pics.

Really stunning.

Ohhh, I love the SI shooting - especially the part with Rafael. (I'm jealous.)

Well, I'm not a fan of the use of Photoshop (too much, too much, too much) but I still like the photos. I'm glad that she's back with SI.

Bar Refaeli: Why She Should Have Been Cover Girl over Kate Upton

The 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition features Kate Upton as the cover model. It’s one of the most anti-climatic reveals in recent years and the company would have been better served shocking the world with another choice.

They should have made Bar Refaeli—5’8” Israeli super model—the woman to grace the cover once again like she did back in 2009.

If you need a reminder of that awesome edition, you can see it here.

You can also see her incredible shots from this year here

Refaeli is easily one of the most beautiful women featured in the issue packed full of them, and could have edged Upton had it not been for the immense hype surrounding the new model.

Kate was romantically linked to Jets QB Mark Sanchez, did the “Dougie” at a Los Angeles Clippers Game, appeared in the MLB All-Star Game and commercials for MLB 2k12 and did work for New York City based MSG TV.

Basically, she was completely linked with sports and it made her almost too much of a shoe-in to become the cover girl for a magazine that traditionally covers sports.

It was unsurprising and boring, which is why Refaeli would have been the right girl to create more buzz for the issue.

She did work with Chris Paul, Michael Phelps and Rafael Nadal for the 2012 version, proving she’s the most involved with the magazine’s version this year

This would have put Bar in rare company with Cheryl Tiegs, Christie Brinkley, Paulina Porizkova, Elle Macpherson, Kathy Ireland, Tyra Banks and Daniela Pestova as the only models to have graced the prestigious cover more than one time (not counting the 2006 issue with eight cover models).

Upton is a great model and she’s only 19 years old, which means she has a long future in the business. The 26-year-old Refaeli is more experienced, and would have been perfect for this year’s edition.

I hope she's having a great SI Swimsuit Party in New York. She sure has a fabulous sexy blue dress!

Thanks wijn for the interview!

Thanks bigmax for all the gorgeous photos! ... and to Prettyphile for the amazing SI pics with the boys!

thanks for all the photos and etc everyone

i think that article trying to make the argument that Bar should have gotten it over Kate is invalid simply because Bar didn't do any on location. There was no way she was getting the cover just from studio shoots.

i found this funny as well because personally I found Bar's "big comeback" to be completely anti-climactic. Yes she looked amazing and body is one of the best, but the photos as a whole were nothing special IMO and I really wish both SI and Bar had done more. The inclusion of the athletes didn't help either.

What's wrong with SI event this time. Normally I will see models picture everywhere on the online website like Zimbio but not this time????
