Omaha Fashion Week Spring 2024 — Omaha Fashion Week
EMERGING DESIGNERS: The Unfinished Archive | Alex Graff | Follow on Instagram What inspired you to start designing clothing? I was inspired to start designing clothing by my friends who worked at a vintage clothing shop and saw that there was a need for repairs. I was interested in the construction of garments and what made something ‘well constructed’ and sustainability in regards to the fashion industry so it all kind of went hand in hand. Who are your fashion icons and/or designer inspirations? I’m inspired by workwear, repair and reconstruction, especially Margiela’s reworking. I’m also inspired by Virgil Abloh’s 3% philosophy What inspired your collection for OFW Spring 2024? This collection is inspired by flowers and nature, the abstractness of organic matter. Keeping it simple while still subverting expectations. What makes you excited to show on the Omaha Fashion Week Runway? I’ve really loved working on the production side of omaha fashion week and working with everyone that makes it all happen, it’s really exciting to be a part of it but as a designer now. K.E.Y.
