PHILADELPHIA — Dec. 4, 2023 — Select employees from across Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) will be gliding down a very different runway on Thursday, Dec. 7 — as fashion models.
Volunteer team members from various departments throughout the airport will be professionally styled with “looks” from among the 150-plus airport stores. They’ll walk a newly constructed indoor runway between Terminals B and C wearing seasonal fashions from just steps away.
Passengers traveling through PHL on Dec. 7 can enjoy three 20-minute collections at the top of every hour starting at 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Each mini-show will have a dedicated theme that’s particularly relevant to how people work today — office, home or hybrid — and, of course, the latest looks for getting away on vacay.
Between runway shows are vignettes that showcase other aspects of travel, from high-tech accessories to self-care. The Dec. 7 schedule for Runway PHL is as follows:
Music will be programmed and provided by Stryker from Mid-Atlantic Productions. Clothes seen on the runway and all items featured between shows are available for purchase at PHL Food & Shops retailers.
MarketPlace PHL is honored to have Briana Smith, local 6abc broadcast journalist, join Runway PHL as guest emcee from noon to 2 p.m. on Dec. 7.
“The PHL Food & Shops retail outlets offer a wide assortment of high-quality options for clothing and accessories as vibrant and diverse as the style of our passengers,” said Mel Hannah, Vice President and General Manager of MarketPlace PHL. “We’re especially grateful to the employees throughout the airport for helping to showcase all that’s available at PHL.”
