WELCOME Welcome to the third edition of The Edit: Memphis Fashion Week Summer Edition. We are so excited to share with you Arrow’s new Creative Central.

We will welcome in, and release back into the region, generations of future creatives through Arrow’s doors. Growing a home specifically for all creative entrepreneurs will ensure that Memphis continues to be a city known for culture, creativity, and forward-thinking.

Arrow is an open resource for the community to feel engaged as lifelong arts enthusiasts.

Building upon the fashion design courses created by Memphis Fashion Week at Memphis College of Art, Arrow is growing the offerings and clientele to become a regional draw through programming from hobbyist classes, to weeklong master courses, as well as certificate programs building workforce development for creative industries.

As an organization that encourages creative’s growth through business and arts educational components, retail

and studio space, we are so excited to bring to Memphis for the ninth year, the Emerging Memphis Designer Project. This year’s shows will focus on our local talent that is blossoming right here in Memphis. With a new program at the University of Memphis and our fashion lab ready and accessible, we know that this year’s shows will be unlike any other.

As always, we want to thank our sponsors, designers, stylist, models, and MFW committee, without whom this event would not be made possible. We also want to thank YOU, our supporters who join us each year to celebrate fashion and the growth of the arts in our community.

Your Creative Steward, Abby Phillips Executive Director and Co-Founder Arrow Creative

Many makers in Memphis find themselves without the resources and space they need to create. Since our opening we have worked to make Arrow a place for artists to grow as solo entrepreneurs in Memphis. Arrow provides to the art enthusiast as well as the creative entrepreneur, equipment, classes, work space, gallery exhibitions, creative studios, and a retail area to create a thriving center where art and business merge.

While Arrow spun out of the movement from Memphis Fashion Week and the Memphis Fashion Design Network, it is more than just fashion. We are a multifaceted organization dedicated to promoting creativity of all kinds. This organization brings together Memphis designers, makers, photographers, fine artists, and creative entrepreneurs to Opening in September in a new form a one-roof creative district in the 23,000 sqft building, Arrow will be able to provide resources to the heart of Memphis.
