Not all venues are designed for fashion shows, so you’ll need to get creative. If the venue has pillars or obstacles, use a T-shaped or U-shaped runway to optimize sightlines. If you have a smaller space, consider a standing-room format to fit more attendees. Venues with built-in lighting rigs can save on setup time and budget. Some locations, like The Great American Music Hall are fantastic, it’s an opulent showcase with more than 500 attendees.
