Omaha Fashion Week is lifting the veil and showing off behind the scenes in our Fall 2024 VERUS Season. This season's designers draw inspiration from the natural world and repurposed materials while exploring themes of community and cultural heritage.

Throughout the week, we will be showcasing 16 Emerging Designers + 14 Featured designers who will present their collections during 3 nights of our Fall 2024: VERUS Season. We are proud to welcome back the teen campers from Omaha Fashion Camp’s Summer 2024 sessions during our Thursday night showcase. Finally, we will be featuring 6 Headlining Designers throughout the week including four of our Golden Shears award winners from previous seasons.

Their inspirations manifest through streetwear, bridal gowns, eveningwear, avant garde and wearable art! We’ll see global influence over the collection’s aesthetics from Scotland to Spain, Ecuador to Ethiopia, Italy, Japan, and London.

Our runway will see designers of all ages, from teens to 60’s. Of these, 7 of our designers are high school or college students. We have 21 designers returning to our runways, and 15 designers who are brand new to our show. This group is from all over the US including our local Nebraskans, our neighbors in Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri, and even more making the trek from California, Colorado, New York, and Wisconsin.

We are so inspired by this amazing lineup of Emerging Designers who will be showcasing in the first half of every show! Emerging Designers are either brand new to the OFW runway, student designers, or veteran designers trying out a completely new method of creation. We will close each show with an incredible lineup of inspiring collections by our Featured Designers. This designer track is full of experts at their craft who will showcase high-quality, ready-to-buy looks on the runway.

OFW Spring showcases are scheduled for August 22-24th, 2024, at Omaha Design Center. Tickets go on sale May 20th at https://omahafashionweek.ticketleap.com/
