Named “Runway Runway,” the collaboration during LAFW will take off on Friday, Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. PST in an airplane hangar in Hawthorne, California.
The show will be live streamed on Delta’s Instagram account and on DeltaRunwayRunwayCollection.com where viewers can share their thoughts and engage with other viewers as they watch. The live stream will begin at 8 p.m. PST (11 p.m. EST).
“My collaboration with Delta’s Runway Runway campaign is about more than showcasing the travel-inspired collections from these six unique, creative designers,” Issa Rae said. “It’s about elevating their stories, each deeply rooted in the belief that there is comfort in human connections, strength in being present, and inspiration to be found in the adventures we embark on.”

As part of this event, and in a continued effort to support small businesses, Delta and Issa Rae will be promoting the spirit of travel by bringing several fashion designers into the spotlight at the fashion show:
The collection showcases a globetrotter’s wardrobe created by travelers for travelers. The complete collection will be available for purchase at DeltaRunwayRunwayCollection.com when the event starts with a limited quantity of each item.
“Our partnership with Issa has been a dream come true for Delta, allowing us to connect over our shared passion of lifting and connecting small businesses with others around the globe,” said Emmakate Young, Managing Director – Brand Marketing and Sponsorships. “As travel demand continues to rise, this campaign and the travel-inspired collection show that it’s time to explore. We hope Delta's Runway Runway encourages others to be present, make new connections and find their own inspiration through travel.”
