Tell us about yourself.
Hello!! I’m Tabatha! A little about me is that I recently graduated from culinary school at Iowa Western CC. I plan on going to get a degree in business this spring at Iowa Western and then transfer to UNO! Right now I spend most of my time working between 3 part time jobs, so I stay very busy! On my free time I love taking pictures and hanging out with my friends. We love to go line dancing at Bushwackers in Ralston and are there every Thursday for college night! I enjoy traveling, going camping and of course baking/cooking!

Tell us about yourself.
My name is Eva Annar Gilbreath and I am a Sophomore at Creighton University studying Marketing and Creative Writing. Since joining Develop Models over a year ago, I have grown significantly as a person. I’ve learned how to perform confidently, work with a variety of amazing people, and embrace myself for who I am. The arts have always been important to me ever since I was a little girl. Wether it be singing, writing, or walking down a runway, I have always loved putting myself out there.

My favorite memory of this season was getting to walk with my sister, Julia Gilbreath, by my side again. This is the second year in a row we have both been chosen to walk for our favorite designer, Nuevintage, together. She was there for wardrobe malfunctions, makeup touch ups, and to wish me luck right before we walked the runway. Having her next to me made every moment that much more special. It’s a tradition I hope we can continue carry on in the years to come.

What was your favorite memory of this season at Omaha Fashion Week.
On the last day of the shows we had a really long rehearsal, and I was in an extremely tight corset that I could barely breathe in. There was a moment during that rehearsal that no one seemed to mind the long rehearsal. No one complaned about their dress being too tight or their feet hurting from standing around in their heels. Everyone there was geniunely excited and honored to be apart of that specific moment. That's my favorite memory from this past season because I felt so humbled by all the love and passion by all the people around me, and I'm so thankful I was able to convey the designers message with these wonderful women.

Tell us about yourself.
Hi, my name is Sienna Black. I am a former collegiate volleyball player with a love and passion for fashion. Ever since I was a little girl, I was fascinated by clothes because they can be such a powerful form of self-expression that requires no words, which is truly so beautiful. Some of my favorite things include: spending time surrounded by those I love, shopping, playing volleyball, running, and road-tripping through the mountains.

I’m a wife, mom of two, who doesn’t believe in placing limitations on yourself. At the age of 17 I was diagnosed with my first of five heart arrhythmias. I underwent a total of five heart surgeries, including a pacemaker (I am now on my second pacemaker). I was told NO to so many things in life that most take for granted: living an active lifestyle, having children, an so much more. I’m so proud to say I have turned every NO into a YES! I advocate for others to live life to it’s fullest, no matter the journey we may be on or the mountains in the way. We can all be unst❤️ppable!

Julietta Panko
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Julietta. I’m 18 years old and have been a model for Develop Model Management since the end of 2019. I’m involved in a handful of activities in school including golf and DECA. I have just recently started my college search and am looking at schools in Florida, Texas and Arizona. However I still and looking at attending UNL as well since I have been a Husker fan since birth. Outside of school I love hanging out with my 3 year old dog. We like to take walks and play in the backyard. I also love spending time painting or doing crafts. Clothes are also a huge part of who I am. I have so many clothes that I took over my sister’s closet when she went to college! I love to dress up for any and all occasions. Sunsets and sunrises are also a personal favorite of mine. I love to watch both those and the clouds formations in the middle of the day. My photo gallery consists of mostly pictures of the sky and my dog. I have many passions in my life as I am quite a passionate person. One of my passions is hotels. I have loved them since I was 3 and have always wanted to open one of my own. I could talk about hotels and my love for them all day long. Another passion of mine is my family. I have one sister and 8 cousins. All of my cousins are under the age of 11 and so I end up babysitting them quite often and I enjoy every second I get to spend with them. Most of my family lives right here in Nebraska so I get to see them quite often. I could not be more grateful for that blessing. I love to travel and discover new amazing places. I truly enjoy the little things in life like when I find pants in the store that are long enough for me or when a butterfly lands on me. When I drive around in December and see all the Christmas lights, my heart is full. The little things are what makes life beautiful and I plan to keep enjoying those for the rest of my life. Thank you for getting to know me :)

My favorite memory of the 2022 OFW season was being in the show put on by Borris Powell. It was such an amazing experience! I have never done anything like that before in my life. It was so cool seeing all the work and preparation put into it and the outcome was phenomenal. If I was asked to be a part of that again I would do it in a heartbeat

I enjoy a good cup of coffee, so much so that I plan on making it my career. I’m am attending business school at Central community College to eventually open my own coffee shop. I got into modeling a year ago in August and have loved it since. I am from a very small town in northeastern Nebraska, so small that it is a village. Being from a small town and being apart of Omaha Fashion Week gave me a much larger view of the big world, I am in love with it. I hope to continue modeling and excited for new doors to continue opening.

The fall fashion week was my first show and it was better than I could have imagined. I meet so many new friends back stage and talk to them daily. While walking the runway I could not only hear my family cheering for me, but everyone else in the audience. It made me feel so confident and I wish for everyone to feel that good about themselves.

My favorite word is ‘sonder’ and I make sure to live through that word’s definition where ever I go. Not only does it allow me to experience and learn about different aspects of the world, but it allows me to connect with thousands of people one would initially think I had nothing in common with. I seek to be a forever scholar and continue to connect with everyone around me!
What was your favorite memory of this season at Omaha Fashion Week.
I had three designers all at different levels of experience this season. I had a returning veteran, a seasoned expert, and a complete newbie. Each night had a different flare to it and I enjoyed adapting to my designers. Working with new designers is always wonderful, you get to live through them the excitement and newness of the show all over again!

DO YALL SEE HER IN THAT MFN DRESS?" and I wanted to laugh so bad but reached out to her and smiled while turning. It was the greatest!

Jan Mondragon
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Jan. An 18 year old who recently moved to Omaha Nebraska to chase her dreams. For a year, I was apart of the wonderful Monarkia family. The founder Rita Rodriguez is such a great role model to all of the girls at monarkia models and I do not know where I would be without her mentoring. At this academy , I discovered my true potential. Through trial and error, each week I came in with a positive attitude, put my high heels on and began training in hopes to improve myself as a model. My sister Arabeli Benites and I would travel 2-3 times a week for the whole school year and early summer just for our lessons. Despite living an hour and a half away I cannot remember a time that we missed our lessons.This proves we were committed to becoming our best selves. I learned runway and pageant walking at Monarkia . September 2021 is when I began my quote on quote model career. I started off with local runways, modeling quinceanera dresses for The palace, Karen Design fashion show, did several photo shoots at Monakria Institute that built my confidence tremendously. Then when OFW announced their casting date, I was more than prepared to show everyone what i had been working on for several months. That is my walk. Fast forward, I was selected to walk at OFW in the fall for Duane Topping and Potion 23. And then not too long after, I casted for Develop Model Management and made it in. Furthermore, thanks to the Monarkia Institute I was the front cover page on Vida Social Magazine for the month of September 2022. This is my career summed up so far. Before all of this, I was a competitive cheerleader and assistant coach. And from the bottom of my heart, I am so blessed for all of these opportunities and the ones to come. As cliché as this sounds, if you believe it you can achieve it!!Once again, I am Jan Mondragon. Thank you for your time.

My favorite memory of this season at omaha fashion week was having the opportunity to participate, meet designers, and last but not least, meeting all these wonderful humans that i wouldn’t have met if it weren’t for this fashion show. I come from a small town, Sioux City, Iowa to be exact. Never once did it cross my mind that I would walk in a fashion show until it truly happened to me. This season will forever be memorable to me because I can tell others about my experience and how wonderful everyone there was.
