Omaha Fashion Week

Nebraska FCCLA is hopeful to again be a participant in the 2027 Omaha Fashion Week Student Night! In addition to supporting more independent fashion designers than any other organization in the region, Omaha Fashion Week supports young fashion designers by providing mentoring, educational opportunities, and a professional platform to showcase work.

Nebraska FCCLA is still awaiting additional information about the offering of a student night in 2027 as well as whether we will have the ability to participate in it. You can learn more about the opportunity to represent Nebraska FCCLA at Omaha Fashion Week here.
