Omaha Fashion Week has officially wrapped the Fall 2025 ÉLÉMENTAIRE season! During four nights on the runway, we showcased 9 emerging designers + 10 featured designers + 3 community organizations, including Develop Kids, Omaha South High School’s Fashion Program, and Omaha Fashion Camp. 10 headlining designers showcased on our runway, including the unfinished archive, our previous Golden Shears award winner and K.Made.It and LiloushLine from African Fashion Week. Official Clothing Partner Thrift World showcased a look of styled pieces on the runway, available in stores across Omaha. Seven veterans headlined: Mayed by Rey, CASAREZ, Dan Richters, Bakker Brown, potapenko yanchenko, and Michael Drummond.
Designers competed nightly for prizes during Omaha Fashion Week! Both emerging designers and featured designers were scored by their respective panel. The panelists scored designs based on the creativity and innovation of the collections and overall presentation. Only one emerging designer and one featured designer will be the winners of our Grand Prize Packages!
We are excited to announce the winners of awards based on tallied scores from our panelists!
