Omaha Fashion Week

Omaha Fashion Week started in 2008 as an event held in the heart of the Old Market for 12 designers, 20 models and 2,000 attendees. It has grown to become the fourth largest organized fashion week event in the country, and the first to make show participation completely free of charge for designers.

Thirteen years into the journey, attendance has grown to over 10,000 per year and OFW has developed a national reputation as the best place for young fashion designers to be nurtured. We now draw designers and fans to Omaha from all over the region. Behind the glitz and glamour of this red-carpet event, you’ll find a commitment to education and a passion for supporting cultural vibrancy, creativity, and innovation as drivers of economic stability and growth.

Omaha Fashion Week is a socially conscious organization with a strong mission and purpose - to serve as an incubator for fashion industry talent and provide opportunities for the Omaha community to enjoy a unique, red-carpet experience. We have had a hand in creating a thriving local fashion ecosystem where fashion designers, design students, and fashion entrepreneurs can learn to make a successful career in the fashion industry. We believe building an attractive place for talented professionals to call home is vitally important and are proud to be part of the landscape of annual arts and culture events that help make Omaha a vibrant community!
