Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet
What started as a quest to create the perfect pair of pants has morphed into a lifestyle brand featuring ready-to-wear, gowns, shoes, accessories, and handbags. With stars like Katy Perry, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Beyonce as noted fans, Alice + Olivia fits in nicely with Dallas’ fashion-obsessed set — and its fellow boutiques at Highland Park Village.

Bandier
This activewear retailer is the first of its kind to open in Highland Park Village. The fourth brick-and-mortar shop for the brand — and its first outside of New York — offers fashion-forward fitness tops, bottoms, bras, shoes, and accessories, with an average price point of $90.

F21 Red
The new concept store from Forever 21 opened at the Shops at Park Lane in late October, peddling a ridiculously cheap assortment from Forever 21, Forever 21 Men, Forever 21 Plus, and Forever 21 Girls. Even though you can get jeans for less than $8, tanks for less than $5, and $2 camisoles, they swear it's not an outlet store.

Free People
The flirty boho brand is reopening in a massive 6,555-square-foot space in NorthPark Center on level two near Nordstrom. In addition to the expected pieces, the new boutique features a party dress shop and select menswear items like button-downs, wovens, and knits.

Kendra Scott
The Texas-based designer is expanding her jewelry empire with a new boutique in Southlake Town Square. Expect the same baubles for which Scott is known — earrings, necklaces, bracelets — and hers signature Color Bar. Grand opening party is November 10 from 5-8 pm, and 20 percent of sales benefit Grace Grapevine.

Market
New boutique from Highland Park Village co-owner Elisa Summers promises a “finely curated” selection of clothing, accessories, jewelry, home decor, and gifts — including an in-store candy bar from Sugarfina — presented in homey, well-designed environs. The shop opens mid-November.

Rag & Bone
After closing for renovations, this Highland Park Village shop is back and better than ever. It boasts two stories and a larger men’s section — as if we needed another excuse to shop the celebrity-beloved brand.

Sundance
Founded in 1989 by Robert Redford, this lifestyle brand has opened its first Texas boutique in NorthPark Center on level two next to Arhaus. The shop offers a curated collection of men’s and women’s apparel, footwear, jewelry, art, furniture, and home decor.

Wisteria

Founded in 1989 by famed actor and director Robert Redford, Sundance Catalog is premier lifestyle brand offering a thoughtfully curated mix of unique, premium-quality men’s and women’s apparel, jewelry, accessories, footwear, art, furniture and home décor. This will be the only Sundance store in Texas. - See more at: https://www.northparkcenter.com/stores/northpark-sundance-opening-fall-2015#sthash.V1alVBTY.dpuf

Wrangler
The first Texas boutique for this iconic American denim brand is now open in Galleria Dallas on level two. In addition to jeans, the shop is also stocked with tops, dresses, and accessories in a mix of classic and contemporary looks.

Zara
Zara has reopened in Galleria Dallas after a highly anticipated renovation. The new-and-improved store for the fast-fashion favorite is nearly three times the size of the original, which means even more affordable pieces to love.

Neiman Marcus to close store at Willow Bend in Plano after 25 years

Saks Global has sold the Neiman Marcus store at the Willow Bend mall in Plano and will close it in January 2027.

Willow Bend Mall is the two-level mall

According to a spokesperson, “We have sold the Neiman Marcus Willow Bend property to the developer that is reimagining The Shops at Willow Bend. The store will remain open until January 2027 as the developer progresses on various phases of the area’s reimagination."

According to a release, the sale was "a mutual decision that allows the developer to bring its vision for the area to life, building on the retail foundation with the introduction of new residential, dining and entertainment uses."

The sale also allows Saks Global to "strategically reinvest in areas of our business that drive growth and position the company for long-term success."

This marks the second big change for Neiman Marcus in Dallas in a year, following the potential closure of the flagship store in downtown Dallas — a closure that the city of Dallas is fighting valiantly to avoid. The current plan is for the downtown location to stay open through the end of 2025.

The Plano store opened in August 2001, part of the bigger splashy debut of the Shops at Willow Bend, where it served as one of four anchor stores along with Foley's, Lord & Taylor, and Dillard's.

In trademark Neiman Marcus fashion, the store was luxuriously appointed with mother-of-pearl countertops, tinted polished plasters, custom area rugs, hand-made slumped art glass walls, Murano glass light fixtures, and an eye-catching bufterfly art installation that hovered over an expansive three-level escalator atrium.

But the timing of the opening — one month before 9/11 — was unfortunate, and Taubman, the mall's developer, was thought to have overestimated the buying power of its West Plano neighborhood. Dillard's is still open, but Lord & Taylor closed in 2003. Foley's became Macy's in 2005, which just closed in January 2025. The mall has since changed hands many times; it was acquired in 2022 by Cawley Partners, Centennial, and Waterfall Asset Management.

According to Saks Global's statement, there are no plans to replace or relocate the store.

"Through the regular course of business, we continually evaluate our store footprint and, as in this case, may determine it necessary to reformat or close a store. There are currently no plans to reduce our store portfolio on a broader scale."

The company says it will continue its plan to re-invest in the NorthPark store and "reimagine" the downtown Dallas location.

"Dallas-Fort Worth continues to be an important market for the company. We are continuing to work in collaboration with the City of Dallas on a potential reimagination of the Neiman Marcus Downtown Dallas store, and are making great progress on the upcoming Neiman Marcus NorthPark transformation."

They're also going to take care of their employees.

"We are committed to treating our Neiman Marcus Willow Bend colleagues with respect and fairness throughout the closing process. As we wind down operations, transfer opportunities to other stores in the DFW metroplex will be offered where possible, and eligible colleagues will be offered appropriate separation packages.”
