The future of fashion starts with the people willing to invest in it.
One of the most impactful parts of Omaha Fashion Camp is connecting campers with professionals who show them that creative careers are possible right here in Nebraska. This year, we were fortunate to have two incredible educators, Alex Graf and Kristen Clark, share their passion, creativity, and expertise with our campers.
As Alex shared:
"Nebraska having a local fashion camp is integral to developing the next generation of designers, tailors and sewists. I wish that I had access to that growing up. It’s so cool getting to help kids find their own vision and find that sewing isn’t nearly as intimidating as they think. I got involved with Fashion Camp to help show kids that just because we live in Nebraska doesn’t mean we can’t be fashionable."
Kristen's journey with sewing is just as inspiring:
"Sewing has been a positive, transformative force in my life since childhood. It has evolved from being my creative escape into my career. I know firsthand how powerful it is to be able to bring your ideas to life, and I wanted to help the next generation discover that same joy."
We were also honored to welcome Kyle from Key Fabrics, who shared his journey into the fashion industry and what it took to open his own fabric store right here in Omaha. His story gave campers a firsthand look at the entrepreneurial side of fashion and showed them that with passion, hard work, and creativity, it's possible to build something meaningful in your own community.
Thank you, Alex, Kristen, and Kyle, for inspiring the next generation of designers, sewists, and entrepreneurs. Your impact will continue long after Fashion Camp comes to a close.
