Omaha Fashion Week is highlighting themes of reckless self-expression during our Spring 2024 AUDACIOUS Season. As we focus on fashion-for-good we honor the audacity it takes to use our voices to create meaningful change in our communities. This season's designers draw inspiration from nature and unconventional materials while exploring themes of feminism and cultural heritage.
Check out the full lineup for each night of designer showcases…
First round of funding for the OFW Investor’s Circle brought in nearly $7,000 to directly support fashion designers. Tonight, 13 designers were selected to receive a $500 grant from the Circle. Read on to learn who they are. The next round of funding for the August 2024 season begins April 1.
Omaha Fashion Week is inspired by an amazing lineup of Emerging, Featured, and Headlining Designers who will be showcasing on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.
Emerging Designers are either brand new to the OFW runway, student designers, or veteran designers trying out a completely new method of creation. They will explore themes of nostalgia, revival of youth, and societal issues.
Featured Designers are experts at their craft who will showcase high-quality, ready-to-buy looks on the runway. They are inspired by themes of luxury, upcycling, and honoring cultural heritage.
Each season we have the pleasure of working with a new group of incredibly talented professionals and students in the hair and makeup industry to help bring our designer’s inspirations to life on the runway.
The Omaha Fashion Week Beauty Alliance allows aspiring students and established professionals to explore their creativity and expand their portfolio by executing unique hair and makeup looks that they might not have the opportunity to do in schools or on everyday clients.
Omaha Fashion Week Beauty Alliance led by SOHO Hair Academy is sponsored by REF Stockholm and Ignite Beauty Supply.
