The most anticipated fashion event in the Midwest concluded Saturday night after a weeklong celebration of fashion. Omaha Fashion Week guests were able to get the first glance at the latest collections of the most talented designers in the area. Over 30 collections walked down the runway this past week.

Each night, designers were scored by our official panel. The panel scored based on the creativity and innovation of the collection as well as the overall presentation.

Top scores were tallied to determine the winner for the nightly award. SAC Federal Credit Union will be providing $500 to selected designers. We are excited to announce the top designer for each night.

Big congratulations to the following designers:
