Fashion Week Studio in NYC — Castings, Fittings & Shoots
Match Studios is a Fashion Week studio at 545 8th Ave in the Garment District, from $82/hr in the 750 sq ft Studio 2110 and $99/hr in the 1,850 sq ft Studio 1720, with event and showroom blocks from $495 for 3 hours. Steps from the showrooms and ateliers and two blocks from Penn Station, it books for castings, fittings, showroom days, and lookbook shoots during the February and September peaks.
Scenario
A Garment District base for the busiest weeks of the year.
New York Fashion Week runs on proximity. Castings, fittings, showroom appointments, and lookbook shoots all cluster into a few frantic days in February and September, and the teams that survive them keep everything within walking distance. Match Studios sits in the middle of the Garment District — among the showrooms, ateliers, and fabric houses the whole trade already visits — so models, stylists, editors, and buyers reach you without crossing town. Book a clean, blank floor for the casting, the fitting, or the shoot, and add the styling and workflow support the day needs.
Suggested booking
Production or event block sized for the fashion-week schedule
Studio 2110 starts at $82/hr and Studio 1720 at $99/hr for production; event and showroom blocks start at $495 for 3 hours. Wardrobe, hair, and makeup support start at $440 per production booking.
What it's for
Castings, fittings, showrooms, and shoots in one place.
The same studio flexes across the fashion-week workflow. Run an open casting or callback in a quiet room with space for a panel and a reader. Hold fittings with racks rolled in through freight and full-length space to see the looks move. Set up a showroom or buyer-appointment day among the district's foot traffic. Or shoot the lookbook itself with natural light in Studio 2110 or two sets and blackout capability in Studio 1720. Booking by the block means you pay for the hours the schedule needs, not a week-long lease.

Seasonality
Book early for February and September.
Fashion-week dates are the most contested of the year for Garment District floors, and they are known far in advance. Teams that lock studio time weeks ahead get the room, the layout, and the consecutive days their schedule needs; late bookers scramble for whatever is open across a packed neighborhood. If your February or September calendar is taking shape, reserve the studio now and finalize the run-of-show later — consecutive-day and multi-block bookings can be arranged subject to availability.

FAQ
Fashion Week studio NYC FAQ
How much does a Fashion Week studio cost in NYC?
Match Studios starts at $82/hr for the 750 sq ft Studio 2110 and $99/hr for the 1,850 sq ft Studio 1720; event and showroom blocks start at $495 for 3 hours. Wardrobe, hair, and makeup support add $440 per production booking. Pricing is by the block, so you pay for the hours your fashion-week schedule needs rather than a full-week rate.
Why book a studio in the Garment District for NYFW?
545 8th Ave sits among the showrooms, ateliers, and fabric houses that anchor the fashion trade, two blocks from Penn Station. That keeps models, stylists, buyers, and editors within walking distance during the February and September peaks, when crossing town eats the schedule.
Can I run castings and fittings in the same space?
Yes. The floor flexes from a casting room with panel and reader space to a fitting area with garment racks rolled in through freight. Book Studio 2110 for compact castings or Studio 1720 when you need room for larger call volumes, more racks, or a shoot set alongside.
Can I load in garment racks and production cases?
Yes. The building has elevator access with freight load-in coordination for racks, cases, and outside rentals — share your load-in list before the date so timing and floor protection are arranged. Larger or cart-heavy load-ins may need advance building approval.
How far in advance should I book for Fashion Week?
As early as possible. February and September are the most contested weeks of the year for Garment District studios, and consecutive-day bookings for a castings-through-shoot schedule go first. Reserve the studio when your calendar takes shape and finalize the run-of-show closer to the date.
Can I shoot the lookbook in the same studio?
Yes. Studio 2110 offers south-facing natural light for a clean lookbook, and Studio 1720 adds two distinct sets and full blackout capability for controlled lighting. Add DIT or digikit support for tethered capture and client review during the shoot.
