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."
Natural Translation
The designers presented their collections on the catwalk.
