Paris Runway Official Welcomes Carolina “Charm” MacDermid: A new face to our Runway Platform
By Paris Runway Official
Carolina MacDermid, affectionately known as “Charm”, is a model whose presence bridges cultures, passions, and artistry. Born in Maputo, Mozambique, and now based in Silver Spring, Maryland, Carolina embodies the essence of a Mozambican American creative... one who brings heritage, elegance, and confidence to every runway she steps onto.
This past summer, Carolina walked for Miami Swim Week, walking for Posh and Purpose as well as standout designers like Uncut Leather. One of her most memorable moments was modeling a daring three-piece leather set: bold, unapologetic, and unforgettable. She also graced the runway for Origin of Oceans, showcasing their intricately beaded swimsuits that turned swimwear into artful, jewel-like creations. Beyond runway, Carolina has been the face of catalog and print campaigns, most recently featured by Succeed Anyway, an athleisure line that highlighted her radiant smile and graceful poise.
For Carolina, runway is storytelling in motion. She thrives on embodying a designer’s vision, translating their artistry into presence, stride, and attitude. Her goal is clear: to continue walking Fashion Weeks worldwide, collaborating with designers, and expanding her impact in both press and media through Paris Runway Official.
Outside of fashion, Carolina leads a multifaceted life. She is an Executive Assistant at Catholic Charities, balancing a meaningful career in nonprofit service while pursuing her modeling dreams. She is also a devoted mother to her 8-year-old son, who inspires her daily to chase her ambitions and demonstrate that women can thrive in every role as a mother, model, and professional.
Carolina’s philosophy on purpose is as dynamic as her journey: “Purpose is intricate and ever evolving. It’s not always fixed but it’s something we discover, refine, and sometimes redefine as we grow.” With this mindset, she lives by her own motto: to create, to inspire, and to uplift.
As Carolina steps into the next chapter of her modeling career with Paris Runway Official, she carries not only her striking beauty and talent but also the values of resilience, creativity, and empowerment. From Mozambique to Miami, Maryland to Manhattan, Carolina “Charm” MacDermid is proving that fashion is more than clothes but it’s a legacy in motion.
