Omaha Fashion Week is featuring a behind-the-scenes look into the world of volunteers during our Spring 2025 OUTRÉ Season. The atmosphere of the week features our take on all things unexpected and extravagant, with quirky displays and fun detailing throughout the Omaha Design Center. VIP Guests were greeted by valet and found their premium seats along the Omaha Fashion Week Runway.
Guests arrived at the Omaha Design Center and rushed to take photos by FotoFunSpot on the Red Carpet, and enjoyed music from DJ Riz. Register for your personal red carpet gallery here to see all of your photos from last night!
Our emcee, Maria Corpuz, hosted our show with confidence and charisma. She was styled by the incredibly talented, Sydney Moore, with her sustainably sourced secondhand and vintage finds. Our backstage Beauty Alliance run by SOHO Hair Academy, using Surface hair care products are absolutely killing the hair and makeup game!

To kick off our week of fashion, Wednesday night’s showcases opened with headliner, K.E.Y. Designs, a UNL student who is showcasing his collection on the runway for the second time. Looks by high school students from fashion programs across the state of Nebraska followed up in the first half.
During intermission, house music kept the energy up and attendees enjoyed looking through their Omaha FASHION Magazine. Guests were sure to check out this season’s merchandise, designed by our very own apprenticeship program!
After intermission, UNPARAGON by Paris opened the show as another UNL headliner. The show continued with collections from the rest of the students in UNL’s Textiles, Merchandising, and Fashion Design program. Headliner, Manic Kandii, closed out the second half, followed by the Mary Mitchell Fashion Excellence Award presentation, awarding three designers from the night a prize and accolades on the runway for the quality of their work.
