This is from an article about a fashion designer. Does it refer to the catwalk (in which case why don't they use pasarela, or the passageway leading up to this?

Catwalk

Without more context, it's impossible to know. :-)

Other options might be \"passageway\" (as you\'ve suggested) and \"hall(way)\" Good luck :-)

Given the interest that might exist in seeing the behind-the-scenes\' world of supermodels, as they make their way from dressing rooms to catwalks, it wouldn\'t be difficult to imagine microphones being behind the scences, as well. :-)

runway

Busquen "fashion show runway" en la Internet:

En el Perú las llamamos "Pasarela", i.e. un pasadizo construido especialmente -en alto- para el desfile de las modelos.
Peer comment(s):

agree Muriel Vasconcellos : "Runway" is more generic and more sidely used, less slang-y than "catwalk."
