Day Two Update | Omaha Fashion Camp 2023

Another incredible day at Omaha Fashion Camp! Campers all had in-depth sketching lessons with Alyssa, while continuing to collect inspiration for their personal brand logos, mood boards and their look for Friday’s fashion show. They also learned a little bit about being backstage at a fashion show and how important teamwork is. I overheard today one camper who really took the lesson about teamwork to heart. This camper was receiving help from a peer on hand sewing a train on a skirt and said, “Even in the fashion industry, you never work alone!” This was direct lesson from Alyssa’s lecture on community. She said, “We become a community through shared experiences and interests.”

Speaking of shared experiences and interests…we have a challenge for your family tonight. Over dinner or any time this evening, we encourage you to ask your camper “What inspired your logo at camp today?” You might just learn a little bit more about what your child values through this exercise.

By now, you should have all received an invitation to our end of week fashion show! I want to provide some clear info on this for parents:

  • Kids fashion show is at 11 a.m. Doors open at 10:45 a.m.

  • Teen fashion show is at 3 p.m. Doors open at 2:45 p.m.

  • Kid Campers (ages 6-10) need to bring a top & biker shorts that match the skirt that they are making.

  • We have enough chairs for each camper to have two guests. Please be considerate of this. Small children can be seated on laps.

  • You can park in the parking garage and bring in your ticket for validation.

  • Campers will share their mood boards & their garment at the show.
