Paris Runway Official Presents: Kimberley “Kimme” Mukarakate - The New Face Stepping Onto the Global Runway

A rising star from Telford, England, Kimberley Mukarakate who is affectionately known as Kimme is ready to make her mark across the world’s most coveted fashion stages. From Paris to Milan, Ibiza to Cannes, her journey reflects a mix of discipline, artistry, and purpose that makes her one of the most exciting new faces to watch this season.

From Fitness to Fashion

When she’s not walking the runway, Kimme is a dedicated personal trainer based in Birmingham, empowering women to feel confident and strong both physically and mentally. Her passion for wellbeing extends far beyond the gym but she believes in transforming self-esteem and mental health through fitness, fashion, and beauty.

“If you take care of yourself from the inside out, you feel better for it,” she shares.... a philosophy that has shaped her both professionally and personally.

A Lifelong Dream

Modeling has been Kimme’s dream since childhood. She looks at it as a creative outlet where she could help bring visions to life. “It’s a form of art and expression,” she explains. “The idea of witnessing the creativity and hard work of a designer, photographer, and team come together... it leaves its print in the history of fashion.”

Having already walked in Afro Fashion Show (July 2025) and preparing for Fashion Week Yorkshire this November, Kimme’s runway journey is just beginning. Her elegance, poise, and artistic sensibility make her a natural fit for Paris Runway Official’s international network, opening doors for shows across France, Italy, America, and Africa.

Finding Purpose and Power

Born and raised in England with Zimbabwean roots, Kimme embraces her heritage and individuality. Growing up, she often felt different  but those differences became her power.

“I realized it was more important to love myself and that my differences make me unique,” she says. “One of my greatest lessons from childhood was to embrace being different.”

Her outlook on life is grounded in purpose... one she believes every person possesses and must discover through passion. “Purpose to me is an assignment,” she reflects. “It’s something within you that’s meant to be found and lived out one step at a time.”

Goals and Aspirations

Professionally, Kimme aims to land a beauty campaign with brands like Charlotte Tilbury, and personally, she hopes to travel the world embracing new cultures, experiences, and opportunities.

As part of Paris Runway Official, she joins a global community of emerging talent who are redefining what it means to walk with confidence, purpose, and authenticity.

Her motto?

“Train the body, feed the mind.”
