Paris Runway Official is proud to announce that Aliza Kanerawala, a model, actor, advocate, and current Miss England semi-finalist, will take her chance at walking the runway this Fall and Winter season.
Aliza has always been drawn to fashion for its ability to communicate individuality and creativity. What began as sharing her personal style online quickly transformed into a platform that combines her passions for acting, modeling, and advocacy... a space where she inspires others to feel confident in their own skin.
A Journey Rooted in Fashion, Film & Advocacy
Currently a film studies student at university, Aliza balances her academic pursuits with a growing presence in fashion and entertainment. Her journey into modeling and pageantry has given her opportunities to represent diversity and storytelling through fashion, while her acting career allows her to take on meaningful projects that connect deeply with audiences.
Purpose With Impact

While her career continues to evolve, she remains steadfast in blending passion with impact which is an approach that defines her growing success.
Goals & Aspirations
Professionally, Aliza is focused on walking at Fashion Week and collaborating with forward-thinking designers and filmmakers who push boundaries. Personally, she hopes to stay authentic, make her mother proud, and continue empowering others through her work.
Beauty With a Purpose: Breathe for Hope
One of Aliza’s proudest achievements is founding Breathe for Hope, her Beauty with a Purpose project dedicated to raising awareness about lung cancer in memory of her mother. She is honored to partner with the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation while also supporting local cancer charities. Through this work, Aliza hopes to inspire others to turn pain into purpose, using resilience and creativity to make meaningful change.
