Dominique Piek (born 13 July 1985) is a South African model perhaps best known for appearing in the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She comes from a small town in South Africa called Somerset West. Her mother, Felicity, is an English teacher and her father, Jan, is a dentist. She has two siblings, Ruan and Amee, who are three years her junior and twins. She started modeling at 14, starting off in London, Tokyo, and Paris. She appeared on the cover of the South African Sports Illustrated Swimwear issue in 2007, as well as GQ, three covers for Cosmopolitan (2003, 2004 and 2009), Shape, and Biba. Her big break happened when she was chosen as a rookie for the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Photographer Walter Iooss photographed her in the Maldives with Brooklyn Decker, Bar Refaeli, and Christine Teigen. She appeared in a campaign for Ralph Lauren Chaps Denim with photographer Richard Phibbs for fall 2010.
