Pretty much everything bdavison wrote is dead on.
Get there early so you can grab your 'spot' if you don't have an assigned area.
Look at your background when people are there. This is something that can turn your shots to garbage. By that I mean use your DOF accordingly. A lot depends on what type of show it is and what you're shooting for what clients want and where you're shooting from, if you get stuck on a corner the background can be nasty.
Severe DOF sometimes works, sometimes not, I've had clients ask for it, like at hair shows.
The stop/turn is a must shot, get. It's one of those shots, and like bdavison said if they know you're there some will make the effort to look at you.
Shooting runway is like shooting horses, get the feet hitting the ground at the wrong time and it's a bad shot.
Lens choice? There are way to many, I saw a guy shooting with 300 2.8 once, he was shooting shoes only as requested.
