Omaha Fashion Week is thrilled to announce the designers for our Spring 2025 Season. We are returning to highlight fashion for good in our community, where self-expression, artistic vision, and individuality are celebrated. This season's designers are focused on immersive storytelling, finding inspiration from music and pop culture, and sharing vulnerable experiences.

During five days of events, we will be showcasing 15 Emerging Designers + 11 Featured designers who will present their collections during our Spring 2025 Season. We are proud to welcome back our beloved high school students from across the state as well as college students from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for our annual spring student night on Wednesday. Finally, exciting announcements about multiple headlining designers will be coming soon!

Designer’s inspirations manifest through streetwear, bridal gowns, eveningwear, avant-garde, and wearable art. We’ll see themes such as activism and revolution, accessible design, gender fluidity, futurism, punk aesthetics, and introspection.

Our runway will see designers of all ages, spanning 5 decades. Of these, 9 of our designers are high school or college students. We have 15 designers returning to our runways and 11 designers who are brand new to our show. This group is from all over the U.S. including local Nebraskans, our neighbors in Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, South Dakota, and Missouri, and even more making the trek from California, Illinois, Texas, 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 February 26th-March 1st, at Omaha Design Center. Tickets go on sale on November 28th!
