Paris Runway Official's very own Georgia Wood and Octavia Gourlay to Walk at New York Swim Week 2025

NEW YORK CITY - July 10, 2025 - As the countdown to New York Swim Week 2025 begins, two rising stars in the international modeling scene are confirmed to walk the runway on Saturday, July 26th in NYC. Georgia Wood and Octavia Gourlay. The show, set to take place at Life Time Sky, 605 W 42nd St, NYC, is part of a groundbreaking fashion platform redefining how swimwear is seen, celebrated, and styled in the heart of Manhattan.


Georgia Wood: Top UK Model Winner & Miss Swimsuit UK & USA Runner Ups

Crowned TOP UK MODEL WINNER, Georgia Wood has quickly become a standout on both the European and global fashion circuits. Known for her commanding runway presence and editorial versatility, Wood embodies the power and poise of a modern muse. Her upcoming appearance at New York Swim Week marks her U.S. runway debut, bringing her signature blend of confidence and elegance stateside.

Georgia’s walk in NYSW symbolizes more than a personal milestone. It marks the arrival of a new generation of UK talent making waves internationally. In a show known for showcasing individuality, innovation, and international flair, Wood is a natural fit.

"From coming 2nd in @missswimsuituk, then placing 11th worldwide in @swimsuitusa… to now heading out to Ibiza for Ibiza swim week…" She wrote last month on her Instagram. Now, this month, July, she heads to New York City, NY for NY SWIM WEEK.


Octavia Gourlay: The Face of Swimwear’s Evolution

From the sun-drenched runways of Ibiza Swim Week to the glossy pages of Fashion United and Fashion X Magazine, Octavia Gourlay has become a familiar and formidable face in the swimwear space. Her modeling portfolio reads like a global passport, and her continued work as a brand ambassador for Aventura Swimwear positions her at the intersection of style and sustainability.

Known for her striking features and radiant stage energy, Octavia will head to New York Swim Week as a featured model, continuing her mission to bring elegance, body positivity, and authenticity to the forefront of fashion.


A Show with Global Pulse

With the theme “Interbloom,” this year’s NYSW will feature a bold mix of global designers, luxury swimwear collections, and purpose-driven storytelling. The event, now in its fifth year, is recognized for its unique ability to merge high fashion with community, creativity, and forward-thinking brand alignment.

Wood and Gourlay’s participation brings a new layer of international prestige to the NYSW runway, representing not only personal achievement, but a larger movement of models breaking geographic boundaries and reshaping swimwear’s narrative.
