Fashion shows & runways

Runway length, backstage prep and a foyer that photographs well

A fashion show runs on three things a venue rarely has all at once: enough open floor for a runway, a backstage area for hair, makeup and quick changes, and a foyer that works for a step-and-repeat or media wall. The Grand Ballroom’s long-format layout gives a runway room to move, the Mezzanine doubles as model prep space above the main floor, and the venue’s dedicated foyer handles arrivals and media.
