✨ What a night. What a moment. What a beginning. ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable evening at Adelante Soirée and supported Monarkia Institute featuring NILICK.

We are incredibly grateful to Nicolle Acevedo, Guatemalan fashion designer and Creative Director of NILICK, for trusting us to bring her vision to the Omaha runway. 🇬🇹🤍

Last night was more than a fashion show—it was a celebration of Latino creativity, culture, talent, and the power of creating platforms for our community.

To our models, hair & makeup team, production team, partners, sponsors, guests, and everyone who helped make this moment possible: THANK YOU. Your talent and support made this night unforgettable.

And the celebration continues! ✨

Runway show featuring Guatemalan Fashion Designer Nicolle Acevedo, Nilick.

The Adelante Soirée is officially sold out and we are overwhelmed with gratitude.

This is what happens when a community decides to invest in itself. When Omaha’s professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers say yes — not just to a ticket, but to a movement.

That is what Thursday night represents.

To every attendee, sponsor, partner, and supporter who made this possible: gracias. This does not happen without you.

For those joining us Thursday evening, here is what to expect:
🎶 Live performance by Ray Bustamante - Los Nobles
👗 Colección Antología — a model runway by Monarkia Models x Nilick rooted in Maya heritage and cultural identity
🏆 Award Ceremony — honoring the leaders shaping Nebraska's future
🤝 Networking with Omaha's most driven professionals and community builders

💃 An evening that reminds us all exactly why this work matters

Nos vemos el jueves. ✨

LOOK 03: BOUTIQUE COLLABORATION | FROM TRAINING TO EXPERIENCE

Model: Verali Guardado

Our students stepped onto the runway wearing looks from •𝒜𝒥 𝒪𝒰𝒯𝐹𝐼𝒯𝒯𝐸𝑅𝒮• —putting their training into practice through a real boutique collaboration.

Students are challenged to understand the look they are wearing, adapt their walk and movement, showcase the garment intentionally, and bring the right energy while still maintaining their own presence.

Collaborations like this give our students-models an opportunity to apply what they’ve practiced in class while learning what it means to work alongside local businesses, creatives and industry professionals.

A special thank you to AJ Outfitters for collaborating with us and giving our students another opportunity to learn through experience.
