Memphis Fashion Week kicks off with a fitting mix of cocktails and shopping to highlight local fashion and international brands. Joseph, a name in Memphis fashion for 85 years, co-hosted the opening night party with Memphis Fashion Week this past Monday at their Laurelwood boutique. Carrying lines such as Diane Von Furstenberg, also one of this yearโ€™s featured designers presented by Joseph, the semi-shopping event benefitted the Memphis Fashion Fund and Emerging Memphis Designer Project.
