Luxury Lexicon A definition

Catwalk show (défilé)

A défilé is a catwalk or runway show in which a house presents a fashion collection.

Models appear in a planned sequence of looks so that an audience can see the clothes on the move. The format matters to the people producing images of the collection. They need to follow an ordered series of appearances and capture a particular look as it passes. Fashion week calendars can also list presentations alongside catwalk shows. A presentation may invite guests to view the clothes in a different setting, outside that timed sequence.
