Talk:Fashion show

The content of Runway (fashion) was merged into Fashion show on 8 May 2020. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Edit Request

I actually wanted to make a change to this article to add a little more history to how it started. I think it is extremely important to also recognize Paul Poiret and especially Lucille Lady Duff-Gordon for being one of the first, and one of the most popular designers who also had a part in starting fashion shows. Lady Duff-Gordon was especially active in using this as a powerful marketing tool. Maybe I'd even mention why they started doing this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tforclass (talk • contribs) 18:30, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I’m going to add a section on inclusion in fashion shows that explains how runways have begun featuring more diverse body types and identities, even though progress is still uneven. I’ll talk about how designers are slowly expanding who gets represented on the catwalk and how conversations around size, disability, and beauty standards are pushing the industry to be more inclusive. This section will highlight recent changes while also noting the areas where fashion still needs improvement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NewYorkCityBagels (talk • contribs) 15:32, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Off topic

But I don't know where else to ask: What is the purpose of fashion shows? It seems that nearly all, or at least the ones that get coverage, contain items that no one would ever wear in the real world. None of the designs I've ever seen actually get produced; the shows seem like concept car displays, with the exception that concept cars showcase new technologies that usually get included into production models.

I have been adding photographs to give the article better visual representation of fashion shows. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 02:27, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I think Runway (fashion) is unnecessary and should be merged into fashion show. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 18:20, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree they are basically the same thing. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 02:22, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
