DESIGNER REQUIREMENTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and execute at least 9 new looks for an 11-look collection. These looks must be exclusively shown on the Muse Behavior Runway first. 

• Provide a list of model specifications needed for their designs 

• Create a cohesive, runway-ready collection and concept.

• Provide runway music within usage rights no later than 02/01/2027.  An estimated show timing will be determined once the number of looks has been set.

• Complete the Designer Promotion Kit within 1 Week. Kits will be sent via email.

• At least 1 in-person or online meeting format review of the collection and discuss your show direction before 12/01/2026.

• Attend fittings (date TBD) and be prepared to assign final looks and lineup on the day.

• Transportation and oversight of garments, personal items, and tools

MODELS: Designers are provided with up to 15 models, one per look. Designers will be given a list of pre-selected models and a list from our casting call to request from, date TBD. For a model to walk in the show, they must attend our casting call or submit digitally (if available), unless pre-selected by us. The pre-selected model list will be provided by 10/01/2026 for designers to submit their first requests. The remaining spots will be filled by our casting call. After casting, designers will be given a list of models and their images for consideration. A final deadline for model selection will be included; designers who have not made their selections at that time will be assigned models. No model, pre-selected or not, is guaranteed a spot in the show. We reserve the right to replace models leading up to the show if they do not adhere to our rules and expectations. We will not be using models under the age of 18 at this time. If a model quits the show, we will find a replacement as close to the specifications as possible if there is adequate time. All final details will be included in the email sent in the lead-up to the model preselect list release.

Models have the right to decline to wear anything that goes beyond their personal boundaries. Boundaries might include a garment’s level of coverage, symbols/representation that go against their beliefs, and more. If possible, we ask designers to work with the model to explore options, such as adding more coverage or different undergarments. It is imperative that designers are prepared for fittings so that models can express these concerns while replacements can still be made. Muse Behavior Runway is not responsible for models who break the contract or quit the show of their own will. 

RUNWAY MAKEUP AND HAIR: Professional makeup and hair teams will be provided. Designers will be given guidelines to follow for their models’ hair and makeup looks. We will be restricting looks to a more classic runway beauty look: clean, feature-enhancing, and minimal makeup. Hairstyles will also be limited to simple and easy-to-transition looks. Designers will receive a comprehensive guide to finalizing beauty looks from our makeup and hair coordinator as we get closer to the show.

The Designer agrees that it is their sole responsibility to provide their own assistant to monitor their collection. Muse Behavior Runway, its staff, volunteers, and agents shall not be held liable for any damage, loss, or theft of the Garments.
