Once a year our monthly artist talk trades painters for designers. On the Thursday of Memphis Art and Fashion Week, the headline designer sits down with a drink in hand and talks through the collection before it walks. Expect process, influences, the pieces that did not survive the edit, and honest answers about what this industry is actually like from the inside. The room is small and the conversation runs both ways, so come with questions. [Afterglow follows for Couture Collective members, sponsors, and Shop Memphis partners.]
