Runway & presentations
A runway built for the lens.
Wide-open stages, a broadcast lighting grid and a green room with hair & makeup steps away — so your collection looks as good on camera as it does from the front row.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Can photographers shoot from the end of the runway?
Yes — we plan a press pit at the end of the runway with clear sightlines and lighting set for camera.
How many models can get ready backstage?
The green room and hair & makeup stations handle a full show; we'll map the flow with you during planning.
Can we shoot a lookbook the same week?
Yes — many designers book a studio day before or after the show to shoot looks on the cyc wall.
How far ahead should we book?
Most events book 4–8 weeks out; larger builds benefit from more lead time. Short-notice dates are possible when the calendar is open.
Is parking available?
Yes — the building has on-site parking, and we'll share arrival details with your guests' info pack.
