Omaha Fashion Week wrapped the VERUS season of showing off behind the scenes. Throughout the week, we showcased 16 Emerging Designers + 14 Featured designers who will present their collections during 3 nights of our Fall 2024: VERUS Season. Finally, featured 8 headlining designers including 4 of our previous Golden Shears award winners, 2 OFW veteran designers, Omaha Fashion Campers, and Develop Kids from Develop Model Management.
Designers competed nightly for prizes during Omaha Fashion Week Designer Showcases! Emerging Designers and Featured Designers were scored by an Omaha Fashion Week Selection Panel composed of Anthony Deon Brown, Brett Foster, Dan Ricters, Edelweiss Rothe, Jennie Mason, Jenny Pool, Kelli Molcyzk, and Michael Burton. The panelists scored designs based on the creativity and innovation of the collections and overall presentation. Each night, an Emerging Designer and a Featured Designer will walk away with prize money. Only one Emerging Designer and one Featured Designer will be the winners of our Grand Prize Packages!
We are excited to announce the winners of awards based on tallied scores from our panelists!
