Actress, animal advocate, instagram sensation and one of the sexiest maxim models to ever adorn these pages, Renee Somerfield, is back. Happy birthday to us!
Hey Renee, what have you been up to since we last saw you in MAXIM in July 2015?
I have still been modelling full time, travelling whenever I get the chance and building my new swimwear company, Somerfield Swim. It has been an exceptionally fun, challenging and rewarding year.
Yes, you’re wearing your recently launched swimwear in this shoot. Why did you decide to release it?
I’ve had a long modelling career built largely around swimwear and I literally own more bikinis than I do clothes. Designing my own swimwear line has always been a dream of mine since as long as I can remember and I feel as though it has come naturally to me. Not only do I own a ridiculous amount of bikinis but I’ve tried on and modelled thousands, so I really understand what makes up a great cut and design for comfort and style. I’m literally obsessed with every piece in my collection because I only create bikinis I totally love and would wear myself.
What did you love most about this shoot?
I loved that it was completely spontaneous. We were in the Maldives shooting my first Somerfield Swim campaign and one morning it was overcast and raining so we took a little adventure to the other side of the island and just decided to play around and take some cool shots. It was completely random and the concept was raw — I knew from that instant the images had to be used for something special and what better way than for MAXIM’s fifth birthday issue.
We couldn’t agree more. What’s been your best birthday?
I always spend my birthday in Bali. My best birthday so far was last year when I spent the day at Padang Padang Beach then onto Potato Head Beach Club in the evening. It was really intimate, with only my closest friends, just the way I like it. Lots of fun and memories made with people I will always cherish.
