    A Fashionable Showing

    The Galleria’s roaring fashion exhibit gives Dallas something to flap about

    The freewheeling, boundary-pushing clothes beloved by the era’s flappers, vamps, and sweet young things have a resonance that has lasted far beyond the Jazz Age. Galleria Dallas examines their enduring appeal with the exhibition “Decadence: Fashions From the 1920s,” a unique exhibition on view now through February 28.

    Housed in the north end of the center on level one, just across from Tiffany & Co., “Decadence” is open from noon to 6 pm daily. Presented by Galleria Dallas and curated by Ken Weber of Vintage Martini, the exhibition originally was planned to coincide with the last series of Downton Abbey.

    But what started as a fairly small showing of clothes grew to include more than 130 garments, featuring pieces from the Susan Denn and Robert Schmidt Collection, Janet Schwartz, and the Texas Fashion Collection of UNT College of Visual Art & Design. Jewelry came from collectors Schwartz, Erik Yang, and Linda Smetak.

    “I had come up with this idea two years ago and wanted to bring something to the patrons of Galleria Dallas that has never been seen before,” says Martha Hinojosa, Galleria Dallas’ director of marketing. “I feel this era appeals to so many people because of its glamour, luxurious textiles, intricate details, and femininity,” says Martha Hinojosa, Galleria Dallas’ director of marketing.

    “What started as a few pieces spread around the mall turned into a major museum exhibition,” says Weber. “I wanted to mainly find pieces that had not been seen before from private collections. Susan and Robert had bought from me for years, so I knew she had incredible pieces, but I never dreamed we’d have French, Spanish and Italian couture.”

    Including couture garments from the likes of Madeleine Vionnet, Mariano Fortuny, Maria Monaco Gallenga and Lucien Lelong, the designs found in the Louvre, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, according to Weber. He puts it on par with the Dallas Museum of Art’s 2011 Gaultier exhibit, although he admits, “we don’t have the special effects Gaultier did. But we definitely have exciting eye candy!”

    As fashion revolves through its inevitable cycle, women who view “Decadence” will find the looks on view unexpectedly modern. The slip dresses and Deco florals of the upcoming spring collections are close descendants of the designs on view.

    And Weber doesn’t see the allure of the ‘20s ending anytime soon, partially because it represented such a key time in history for women.

    “It’s the party decade. Women were release from structured garments and petticoats—they got to wear free-flowing easy pieces. Finally they got freedom and went beyond what they were supposed to do, and it turned into a whole new era in history.

    New giant Quge-tip from Dallas-based Q-tip sells out in 24 hours

    Q-tip's Quge-tip

    A giant version of an everyday product has sold out in 24 hours: Called the Quge-tip, it's a 6-foot version of the iconic Q-tip, the beauty staple that's been around for more than a century.

    Measuring nearly six feet from tip to tip, Quge-tips feature enlarged swabs and a sturdy stick modeled after the original Q-tips swabs design.

    The Quge-tip was released on December 9 and sold exclusively online in limited quantities for $35. Alas, according to a spokesperson for Dallas-based Elida Beauty, the parent company of Q-tip, the product flew off the virtual shelf.

    "Now that they’re sold out, Q-tips is surprising fans with social giveaways," the spokesperson says.

    The Quge-tip is one of two products just released by Dallas companies — both of which feel like they could be April Fools Day jokes — except that both are for real.

    Dave & Buster's Claw Purse
    The Dallas-based eatertainment chain is leveling up holiday gifting with the debut of the Claw Purse, a limited-edition purse designed by Chain. The Claw Purse is inspired by one of the brand's most iconic games — the claw machine — and according to a release, is "the season's most unexpected fashion statement" for anyone who loves bold style, nostalgia, and a little bit of play.

    To mark a milestone for the brand, the Claw Purse launches alongside the expansion of Dave & Buster's Human Crane, a viral, full-body game experience that turns guests into the claw — where they are lowered down into a bin of huge prizes to grab whatever they choose.

    Beginning in December 2025, the Human Crane will appear in over 112 Dave & Buster's locations with additional stores rolling out nationwide throughout the season.

    But back to the purse: It made its debut at Chain's Holiday House, an event at the company's HQ in L.A., where "it quickly became a crowd favorite among creators, stylists, and culture icons," or so says the release. Which also calls this "the first creative collaboration" between Dave & Buster's and Chain, bringing together Dave & Buster's beloved gameplay with Chain's signature culture-forward point of view. So maybe there will be more collaborations in the future.

    The Quge-tip is a nearly six-foot supersized version of the "iconic" Q-tip cotton swab, first invented in 1923 and the go-to for beauty, baby care, first aid, cleaning, and everyday moments that call for a gentle, precise touch.

    The six-foot Quge-tip features enlarged swabs and a sturdy stick modeled after the original Q-tips swabs design — offering a new way to experience an iconic tool at a dramatically large scale, designed as a playful, oversized tribute.

    The release nots that Quge-tips tap into a rising trend of consumers using Q-tips swabs for alternative tasks, which now make up a meaningful share of cotton swab use: From dusting high shelves and cleaning hard-to-reach corners to large-scale art projects.

    The six-foot Quge-tip features enlarged swabs and a sturdy stick modeled after the original Q-tips swabs design — offering a new way to experience an iconic tool at a dramatically large scale.

    The company insists it's a real thing — they do a very funny video mocking late-night ads for cheap products — and that after debuting at qugetips.com on December 9, they sold out of their initial run. One note: They do not reveal how many Quge-tips were sold. It could just be, like 10 that were for sale.

    There's a chance they'll be doing another issue, and they encourage interested shoppers to diligently follow their social media.
