runway styling

Model presentation aesthetics

Runway styling is the art of assembling complete looks for fashion shows—selecting garments, accessories, hair, and makeup to present a designer's vision on the catwalk.

The term extends to everyday fashion that mimics this dramatic, editorial aesthetic: Her runway styling was too bold for the office.

A runway stylist curates these looks, distinct from the designer who creates the clothes.
