catwalk
Fashion show platform
A catwalk is a narrow elevated walkway.
In theaters and industrial settings, catwalks provide access above stages or machinery.
In fashion, the catwalk is the runway where models display clothing: She's walked the catwalk for major designers.
The word evokes the careful, balanced gait required on such narrow paths—like a cat's.
