About this Event
Walk with intention. Command the runway. Get booked.
This isn't just another workshop—it's your gateway to the runway. Whether you're dreaming of making your debut at London Fashion Week or elevating your existing catwalk technique, Runway Ready 101 gives you the training, confidence, and insider knowledge to stand out in one of the world's most competitive fashion capitals.
Led by award-winning fashion show coordinator and catwalk coach Maxine Griffiths, this intensive masterclass breaks down the art and technique of runway modelling. From perfecting your walk to understanding what casting directors actually look for, you'll leave equipped with practical skills that translate directly to bookings.
This is where aspiring models become Runway-Ready.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Master Your Walk
Discover the technique behind that effortless stride. We'll work on posture, pace, rhythm, and the subtle details that separate a good walk from a bookable one. You'll practice different runway styles—from high fashion to commercial—and learn to adapt your walk to different designer aesthetics.
Runway Presence & Performance
Walking is just the beginning. Learn how to command attention, work the pause, and own your space on the runway. We'll cover eye contact, facial expressions, attitude, and how to embody different design narratives with authenticity and confidence.
Casting & Audition Essentials
Understand what happens before you hit the runway. Get insider knowledge on casting calls, what bookers look for, how to present yourself professionally, and the unspoken etiquette of fashion week fittings and rehearsals.
Handle Your Heels
Master the art of walking in heels—from stilettos to platforms. You'll practice balance, weight distribution, and techniques to walk with confidence in any footwear a designer throws at you.
Real-World Runway Standards
Learn the expectations, standards, and professional conduct required for London Fashion Week and other major fashion shows. From call times to backstage behaviour, we'll prepare you for the reality of working in high-pressure fashion environments.
Personalised Feedback
This isn't a passive seminar. You'll get hands-on practice with direct feedback from Maxine, helping you identify your strengths and areas for improvement. Walk away with actionable insights tailored to your development.
