Memphis Art and Fashion Week returns May 3 to 8, 2027, and this is the first one at the new Memphis Art Museum on Front Street. It is a week-long argument that this city has a look of its own. Designers show original collections, boutiques open their doors, and the schedule runs from an opening night watch party to a late Saturday afterparty. This year the week turns on two runways built to be opposites: one on Friday that fits a small crowd above the skyline, one on Saturday that takes over Main Street and pulls in the whole city. Presented by the museum in partnership with the University of Memphis Fashion Program.
