LED Fashion Show Runway Rental at Hofstra University
A black tie affair at Hofstra University featuring young models. Like most fashion shows, the event was built around several distinct segments — this one included a formal fashion walk alongside a sports-themed segment featuring student athletes. This was one of our more technically involved runway builds, with a custom-built platform rather than our standard elevated units.
What we built: We constructed a solid wood base from scratch, treated for preservation and painted black, with our lighted runway units set on top. During installation, we added a black skirt around the base to fully conceal the understructure — a 6×50 footprint in total.
The lighting detail: Rather than uniform lighting down the full runway, we set a single differentiated light at the head of the runway — a clear visual reference point for the young models. Since children were walking the runway, this helped ensure they had a consistent marker for where to stand, rather than approaching the edge. We also placed decor towers near the reveal point.
