Harriette James Cresswell Joins Paris Runway Official as a Fully Sponsored Model
Paris Runway Official is proud to announce the signing of Harriette James Cresswell, a rising talent from Worthing and Croydon, England, who has quickly distinguished herself through both pageantry and performance.
Paris Runway Official (PRO) began a program in 2024 where models could join their agency if they were fully sponsored and approved by a brand, a designer, a production company, a runway show, etc. that the Media and PR Company already works with. The Firm, Paris Runway Official, doesn't actually take any commission or fees from the models but gives them the opportunity to walk the Runway when one of their clients need a model for a campaign, runway show or ambassadorship. Instead of Paris Runway Official searching amongst talent elsewhere, they began to create their own modeling roster to give emerging talent the opportunity to work with their exclusive clients.
Harriette was fully sponsored into the program by brands and will receive chances and opportunities to work with over 75 runway shows, 400 designers and brands from all over the world. Her sponsor includes those such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and brands like Aventura Swimwear who allow select woman into their ambassadorship program.
A Background in Pageantry and Performance
Harriette’s achievements in the world of pageantry speak volumes about her dedication and drive. She was crowned Miss Portsmouth 2024/2025, a title that took her to the Miss International UK Grand Finals in 2025. She has also been extended the prestigious title of Miss Continental Europe England, though circumstances prevented her from competing at the time.
Her journey is far from over, as Harriette has already secured her place in the Miss International UK Grand Finals of 2026 and is currently under consideration for an interview with Miss Global England. Beyond pageantry, her athletic background as a bronze award-winning flyer at the Level 2 Non-Tumble Cheer UK Nationals highlights her discipline, energy, and stage presence... qualities that naturally complement her modeling career.
Passions Rooted in Adventure and Discovery
For Harriette, life is a canvas of adventure and exploration. She is deeply passionate about travel, culture, and history, often inspired by the dream of becoming an archaeologist as a child. Today, her whimsical outlook drives her desire to see the world, immerse herself in different cultures, and collect experiences that shape both her worldview and her artistry.
Her vision aligns perfectly with the essence of the fashion industry—one that thrives on cultural exchange, creativity, and the discovery of beauty in diversity.
On Purpose and Possibility
When it comes to purpose, Harriette believes that it is something fluid, something that arrives when the time is right. “There are those who know their purpose from the beginning and pursue it, and others who trust the universe to lead them where they belong,” she explains. Her philosophy reflects an openness to opportunity, a willingness to evolve, and a confidence that she will continue to find meaning in the journey ahead.
The Next Chapter with Paris Runway Official
As a fully sponsored model with Paris Runway Official, Harriette is now stepping into a new chapter... one that will bring her talents from the pageant stage to the global runway. With her strong foundation in performance, her adventurous spirit, and her remarkable achievements, she is poised to captivate audiences and leave her mark on the international fashion scene.
