The right room
Buyers and press, not just insiders
Showcase to decision makers who fund collections and cover fashion week.
The concept
One invite-only night where runway, AI visuals, and portrait tech share the same room at Nebula NYC, Times Square.
What happens
Four parts — one continuous night, not a standard runway rental.
- Runway
- Live designer segments — each walk captured for press and portfolio
- Screens
- Custom AI visual pairing on Nebula's LED walls per segment
- Portrait booth
- Every guest leaves with a shareable fashion portrait
- After-program
- Private room for buyers, press, and partners after the show

How it works
Three integrations run all night — your segment gets its own visual identity on every screen.

- Collection
- AI as a creative tool in the work — prints, patterns, or silhouettes
- Portrait booth
- Guests generate a fashion-forward portrait on their phone, shareable instantly
