MEET THE EMCEE
Omaha Fashion Week is thrilled to announce emcee, Maria Corpuz, for the Spring 2025 OUTRÉ season!
A visionary at the intersection of style and sustainability, Maria Corpuz is reshaping the landscape of branded merchandise through her company Bel Merch & Design. As founder and creative director, she crafts elevated product collections that merge innovative design with environmental consciousness, challenging the industry's status quo. Her distinctive eye for curating high-end, sustainable merchandise has made her the go-to connector between forward-thinking brands and cutting-edge artists.
Beyond the design world, Maria amplifies important voices as co-host of Riverside Chats on KIOS and as a dynamic community event host. She's redefining the concept of influence – moving beyond social metrics to create tangible cultural impact. Through her work, she weaves together art, activism, and community in Omaha's evolving social fabric, sparking conversations that challenge conventions and inspire change.
An architect of meaningful collaborations, Maria has cultivated a unique space where sustainable design, artistic expression, and social movements converge. Her approach transforms traditional merchandising into a powerful medium for storytelling and social progress, setting new standards for conscious creativity in the industry.
Her role as emcee of Omaha Fashion Week aligns perfectly with her mission to push creative boundaries in the Midwest. The event has become a catalyst for self-expression, encouraging Omahans to view personal style as an art form rather than following prescribed trends. Through OFW, she's connected with countless visionaries who share her passion for using fashion as a medium for individual storytelling and cultural evolution in the heartland.
