Runway shows and presentations will take place on site in the grand Runway Room and in the new and intimate Studio space. While the Runway Room's 110-foot runway with seating for1,000 yields a traditional catwalk, the smaller Studio, with a maximum seating of 350, allows designers a more intimate space. The entirely black studio environment will enable designers completely transform the space to complement their collections.

With the help of these sponsors providing hospitality, services and amenities, the FDCC works to make each show effortless and exciting for all attendees. The FDCC highly values the foresight and marketing vision brought forth by these corporate entities, who share a common goal with Robin Kay and the FDCC: BUILD THE WEEK.
