In a remarkable industry achievement, model Octavia Rose Gourlay has secured three runway bookings within her first week of joining Paris Runway Official Management, a highly selective fashion PR firm known for its exclusive roster of talent.
The model, who brings a diverse background including a Musical Theatre Degree and ongoing training in Counselling and Psychotherapy, was hand-selected for representation in 2025 after receiving sponsorship from a leading beauty industry brand in the United States. This sponsorship was crucial, as the agency maintains a strict selection policy.
“This allows models to enter that will actually be used by our designers, brands and production companies. We are not a modeling agency, but a public relations firm. We provide media and press to some of the most elite designers in the world. Our goal is not to have a large roster of models but to provide our designers with what they need. They need talent on their runway, they need influencers or content creators at their shows, etc. and if they would like to work with someone – we vet the model and from there can seek them a sponsorship and approval into our agency,” says Fashion PR Firm (Paris Runway Official).
The agency’s selective approach has resulted in only approximately 30 models being approved for representation over the past 24 months, positioning it among the most exclusive model management firms globally. Gourlay’s rapid success within this competitive environment highlights her exceptional appeal to designers and production companies.
Her upcoming runway appearances span two continents, showcasing her international marketability. This success builds upon Gourlay’s five years of modeling experience, which includes previous work with prominent brands such as Joico Europe and WELLA Hair.
