As a pioneering icon in the field of children’s model training in Asia, Runway Productions asserts its leading position with a comprehensive talent development ecosystem, a strong international network, and a training philosophy grounded in legacy. Founded by “Catwalk Guru” Benjamin Toong, the academy is not only a cradle for nurturing a passion for fashion but also a launchpad that empowers young talents to confidently step onto major runways in Paris, Bangkok, Hanoi, or Kuala Lumpur. This is not just a story about fashion—it’s a journey of childhood dreams reaching far and wide, fueled by confidence, courage, and global ambition.
Starting point of the childhood legends
Founded in 2006 by “The King of Asian Catwalk” Benjamin Toong, Runway Productions is not just a modeling academy—it is a legacy-building powerhouse. From its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur to its strategic branch in Taipei (Taiwan), the academy has become the top destination for young talents aspiring to enter the professional fashion world, thanks to its internationally standardized training and global network.
The success of Runway Productions is not merely measured by the number of models who have walked prestigious runways, but by the journey of shaping character, elegance, and global presence for each student. It is a place where every catwalk step carries the ambition and boldness of a new generation of child models—modern, professional, and full of confidence.
Essence of training, creating world-class strides
Runway Productions does not train ordinary models—it shapes icons. With three core training programs, the academy offers a comprehensive development pathway from foundational to advanced levels.
The first course, The Runway Kids Foundation, introduces children to a structured training environment filled with joy, safety, and inspiration. Under the direct guidance of Benjamin Toong and an elite team of coaches, students are equipped with fundamental catwalk skills, expressive camera presence, and the confidence to own the stage.
Upon completing the foundation course, students advance to The Runway Superkids, where their talents are refined and sharpened to prepare them for professional castings, international shows, and high-fashion campaigns. Beyond that, The Runway Commercial opens up a new path for children with bold, independent personalities and a strong commercial edge, training them to master the camera with the versatility and presence required by global advertising standards.
Global remarks and cross-border strides
Productions is one of the rare institutions in Asia that brings young students onto international stages from the very first steps of their careers. Its students have made a strong impression at Global Junior Fashion Week in Vietnam, Bangkok Kids International Fashion Week in Thailand, Malaysia Kids Fashion Festival, and Paris City Fashion Week—where young talents from Asia walk alongside top representatives from around the world.
These fashion shows are not merely opportunities to showcase skills—they are gateways into the world of renowned designers, international fashion campaigns, and high-end editorial shoots. Runway Productions serves as the bridge that connects young talents to professional platforms, where every dream is fueled by strategy, expertise, and passion.
