fashion show

'Modenschau' (fashion show) is a compound noun made from 'die Mode' (fashion) and 'die Schau' (show). The '-n-' in the middle is a linking n that connects the two words.
Die Karten für die Modenschau waren schnell ausverkauft.
The tickets for the fashion show sold out quickly.
Common verbs used with 'Modenschau' (fashion show) are 'eine Modenschau besuchen' (to attend a fashion show), 'eine Modenschau veranstalten' (to organize/hold a fashion show), or 'auf einer Modenschau etwas präsentieren' (to present something at a fashion show).
Der junge Designer veranstaltet seine erste eigene Modenschau.
The young designer is holding his first fashion show of his own.
The word is closely connected with the world of fashion. In the same sentence or text, you often find words like 'Laufsteg' (runway), 'Kollektion' (collection), 'Designer' (designer), and 'Models' (models).
Auf dem Laufsteg der Modenschau wurden die neuesten Kollektionen gezeigt.
The latest collections were shown on the fashion show's runway.
presentation
'die Präsentation' and 'die Modenschau' have in common that something is shown to an audience. 'Präsentation' is very general: you can present information, ideas, or products, for example at school, in the office, or at a trade fair. 'Modenschau' is much more specific. It is an event where new clothing is shown by models. You can confuse the words because a fashion show is a kind of presentation of fashion. But not every presentation is a fashion show. If it is not about fashion on a runway, 'Präsentation' is the appropriate word.
Die Modenschau beginnt morgen mit der neuen Sommerkollektion.
The fashion show begins tomorrow with the new summer collection.
