The former ‘Love Island’ contestant showcases her new swimwear line on social media while exploring Thailand for a documentary series.
Zara McDermott is currently making waves in the fashion world and on social media with her new swimwear line, RISE, which she promoted via Instagram while on location in Thailand. The former contestant from “Love Island,” aged 28, showcased her new collection in a striking brown bikini adorned with white lining during a photo shoot on the picturesque beaches of Phuket.
Her social media post, which included a vibrant album of beachside images, highlighted not only the swimwear but also her bronzed, toned physique. To complete her beach look, McDermott accessorized with several gold chains and styled her long hair in loose waves. In her caption, she announced to her followers that her swimwear line is “coming soon.”
McDermott is on the Asian island to film an upcoming documentary series produced by South Shore Productions. This project aims to uncover the rising popularity of Thailand as a tourist destination for young British travelers. Following her initial stop in the bustling city of Bangkok, her next filming location will be the lively party island of Pattaya. Amidst her professional engagements, McDermott has recently indicated that her personal life has been challenging; earlier this month she shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, stating, “Having an emotional day. This sunset made me feel better,” hinting at ongoing feelings related to her recent breakup with Sam Thompson.
McDermott’s swimwear brand, RISE, was inspired by the close bonds she shares with her mother and grandmother. Her intent with the line is to create fashion that is “accessible to women,” catering to various body types and age demographics. The brand has already made notable strides, securing a lucrative partnership with Tesco’s F&F, a brand that has previously featured other celebrities such as Kate Ferdinand and Abbey Clancy.
In discussing her new venture and the documentary, McDermott conveyed her enthusiasm for exploring Thailand. In comments made to the BBC, she said, “I’m excited to discover a country that so many young people like me are heading to right now.” She acknowledged the attraction of the destination lies not only in its vibrant nightlife, parties, and beautiful beaches but also in “other intriguing reasons” behind its popularity.
McDermott’s journey is set against a backdrop of both professional aspirations in fashion and personal healing, as she embraces the filming experience while navigating her recent split.
