catwalk
n.
walkway for models (used in fashion shows); narrow walkway, narrow platform
Catwalk
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.
