Join odAOMO and NOMA to connect local and global communities using fashion as a language. We kick our journey off with an interactive avant-garde evening of couture, during which we invite you to dress to impress and join us in discussion, refreshments, and a runway presentation like no other.

The evening begins with a panel discussion in the Great Hall. The discussion will address the nuances of what we wear, why we wear, internal and external drives for what we wear, and the origins, foundations, and pillars of fashion and clothing.

Dr. Sophia Omoro and Brand Director Quentin Alexander will be leading the hour-long discussion in the Great Hall. Panelists for the evening are Big Chief Demond Melancon of the Young Seminole Hunters, City Council Member Lesli Harris, Mariah Celeste from the New Orleans Opera, and fashion influencer Tiffany Lashaé.

Guests will then be immersed in the interactive fashion experience with live music, dance, spoken word, and fashion. 

Visit the NOMA Museum Shop during regular museum hours to browse through exclusive odAOMO shop pop-up items.

Tickets for this event are sold out.
