Do I need any kind of release If I'm shooting a runway show ???

thanks

Are you an invited photographer, are you getting any permissions from the organizers to use the photos (who might already have a release from the model) and what are you planning on using the images for.

Check out this link it will tell you what you want to know:  http://www.danheller.com/model-release.html#2

It is more about usage than the fact that it is a runway show.

Your printed portfolio is generally never an issue (although there have been a few cases years ago which said usage in a portfolio was a kind of publication).

Have you asked the designer who invited you what his policy is?   He may have had the models sign a release as a condition of participating.
