pasarela

catwalk

noun pah-sah-REH-lah Rare

Also means

footbridge

Usage Note

Pasarela covers two distinct physical structures: the fashion runway (pasarela de moda) where models walk, and a narrow elevated walkway or footbridge for pedestrians. Context makes the sense clear. In fashion journalism it is extremely common, often used without a modifier since the domain is obvious.

Examples

"Los diseñadores presentaron sus colecciones en la pasarela."
