Omaha Fashion Week is inspired by a look into the world of designers and their process of creation. The atmosphere of the events features installations made of design tools, sketches, dress forms, and more…all at the Omaha Design Center.
As guests arrived, they were greeted by valet services and stepped outside to take their photos on the Trios Salon Red Carpet, photographed by FotoFunSpot. Inside the space, guests enjoyed house music by DJ Ice Kole and sipped signature cocktails in the VIP Lounge.
Our emcee, Keith Rodger, hosted our show with confidence and charisma. His look was head-to-toe Thrift World finds! Our backstage Beauty Alliance, run by SOHO Hair Academy, used Surface Hair Care products to create magic on our Develop Models.
To kick off our week of fashion, Wednesday night’s showcases opened with headliner, Mayed by Rey, a former UNL student who showcased her latest collection on the Omaha Fashion Week Runway. During the first half of the show, models from Develop Kids walked the runway.
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!
