The Headline Event of Memphis Art and Fashion Week
This is the moment.
Runway at the Museum transforms Memphis’ art museum into a living stage where art, fashion, and innovation collide.
Models move throughout the Dunavant Rotunda activating the space in unexpected ways as original collections from selected designers come to life before a full audience. The result is an immersive, moving experience where the boundaries between runway and performance disappear.
Headlining the evening: Michael Ngo
An internationally celebrated designer known for sculptural silhouettes and fearless couture, Michael Ngo brings powerful vision and high-impact design to the Memphis stage. His work challenges convention and redefines what fashion can be—with every look crafted to captivate.
An Experimental, Elevated Showcase
This is more than a runway show. Curated categories like Avant Garde, Trashion, and Natural World invite designers to explore bold ideas, sustainable materials, and boundary-pushing forms.
Produced in collaboration with Creative Director Ramona Sonin and the University of Memphis Fashion Program, this event brings together designers at every stage of their careers—from emerging student voices to nationally recognized creatives—on one unforgettable runway.
What to Expect:
• A full-scale runway production inside the museum
• Michael Ngo as headline designer
• A curated lineup of original, category-driven collections

• A fashion-forward audience dressed to be seen
