Information About

Catwalk




, New York City .]]
Catwalk, a term probably derived from Catwalks that connect adjacent buildings, describes a narrow, usually elevated platform used by Models to demonstrate Clothing and accessories during a Fashion Show . The term may also be derived from a more literal meaning, as models on the catwalk often use a walk which is exactly like that of a cat, placing one foot directly in front of the other to produce an alluring swagger in which the hips take on a more exaggerated movement. In Fashion Jargon , "what's on the catwalk" or similar phrasing can refer to whatever is new and popular in fashion. A catwalk is also known as a '''runway''', especially when it is not elevated, and as such has been used in such instances as the title of the Television Series '' Project Runway ''.
