Omaha Fashion Week’s Fall 2024 season kicked off with a thrilling show of Emerging and Featured designers. This season's designers draw inspiration from the natural world and repurposed materials while exploring themes of community and cultural heritage.
Omaha Fashion Week is featuring a behind-the-scenes look into the life of models during our Fall 2024 VERUS Season. The atmosphere of the week features our take on big lights, and the big city, which served as an immersive backdrop for guests to take photos.
