Sofia Resing Sizzles in These 6 Bikini Pics in Zanzibar
Brazilian model Sofia Resing landed in the pages of the 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue after a stunning photoshoot in Zanzibar. The model and Instagram fashionista traveled to East Africa with the brand for a gorgeous beachside rookie feature, in which she wore several beautiful looks by the water.
Since then, Resing has worked with several other notable companies, including Dolce & Gabbana, Sergio Hudson and Philipp Plein. Besides her runway and print work, she’s also landed covers of publications like Numéro and Elle Serbia. Funnily enough, she was initially discovered at a Halloween party in Miami, Resing told Fox News, where she was dressed as a “sexy little Green Hornet.”
In addition to her work behind the lens, Resing has worked in a creative and entrepreneurial role, as well. Two years after her SI Swimsuit feature, she launched a swimwear line alongside designer Mery Racauchi.
“I’ve been working with numerous swimsuit brands throughout my modeling career, and working with Sports Illustrated will forever be one of my proudest memories and achievements,” Resing told us in 2018. “Launching my own swimsuit line MERY PLAYA with Mery Racauchi is beyond any excitement that I’ve known—being on the creative side and not just the model, designing each piece using my experience and Brazilian heritage has been really fun to bring my vision into life!”
In honor of her many professional accomplishments, we’re throwing it back to a few of our favorite snapshots from Resing’s rookie photoshoot in Zanzibar.
