Omaha Fashion Week makes it a priority to support our local arts scenes here in Omaha in every way we can. Every season we work with our incredibly talented Music Director, Keith Rodger ( aka KETHRO) to ensure our line up of DJs stays fresh.

Omaha Fashion Week is inspired by an amazing lineup of Emerging, Featured, and Headlining Designers who will be showcasing on Friday and Saturday night.
Emerging Designers are either brand new to the OFW runway, student designers, or veteran designers trying out a completely new method of creation. They will explore themes of nostalgia, revival of youth, and societal issues.
Featured Designers are experts at their craft who will showcase high-quality, ready-to-buy looks on the runway. They are inspired by themes of luxury, upcycling, and honoring cultural heritage.
Each season we have the pleasure of working with a new group of incredibly talented professionals and students in the hair and makeup industry to help bring our designer’s inspirations to life on the runway.
The Omaha Fashion Week Beauty Alliance allows aspiring students and established professionals to explore their creativity and expand their portfolio by executing unique hair and makeup looks that they might not have the opportunity to do in schools or on everyday clients.
Omaha Fashion Week Beauty Alliance led by SOHO Hair Academy is sponsored by REF Stockholm and Ignite Beauty Supply.
