Oh So Fancy

Romantic new boutique brings fancy florals to Highland Park Village

The 1980s are coming back, fashion-wise, but they're getting a romantic twist at LoveShackFancy. The newly opened boutique in Highland Park Village is the brand's first Texas location, and seventh overall.

"I adore the glamour and energy of Dallas!" says founder and creative director Rebecca Hessel Cohen. "I love that everyone entertains at home, gets dressed up for any occasion, and is always up for a party. I'm honored to be bringing LoveShackFancy to Highland Park Village and am excited to see the style that Texas girls bring to LoveShackFancy designs."

Founded in 2019, the brand originated with a line of hand-dyed silk dresses that Cohen designed for the bridesmaids at her own summer wedding at her family home in Bridgehampton.

The Highland Park boutique reinterprets the brand's fanciful, ultra-feminine style with a splash of playful exuberance. LoveShackFancy's quintessential florals are paired with custom columns and wallpapered ceilings, signature pink paired with frieze murals, and ethereal dresses paired with cowboy boots.

There's everything from ball gowns to athleisure, Lele Sodoughi rhinestone headbands to floral masks, and even several frilly pieces for young girls.

In line with Cohen's passion for antiques, an assortment of pieces from around the world are sprinkled throughout the space, including a wall of ceramic plates found in France. Completing the antiques collection are pieces from Dienst + Dotter, which are available for sale along with select antiques sourced locally in Dallas.

Unique to the Dallas boutique is a dream-like space dedicated to LoveShackFancy's expanding home collection, featuring an elegant built-in bed decorated with the covetable LoveShackFancy bedding that's launching this spring.

There are existing boutiques in Manhattan's West Village and Upper East Side; Sag Harbor, New York; Palm Beach, Florida; and West Hollywood and Newport Beach in California. The Dallas location is next to Carolina Herrera and near the Highland Park Village Theatre.

High-fashion name Miu Miu to open first Dallas store in Highland Park

Miu Miu

An iconic fashion name is opening a store in Dallas: Miu Miu, the Italian brand that's a younger sibling to Prada, will open its only DFW location at Highland Park Village, the open-air shopping center in Highland Park, at 12 Highland Park Village in the former Dior space.

According to a release, it'll open in fall 2025.

A representative from Highland Park Village calls the label "one of the hottest brands in fashion."

Miu Miu was founded in 1993 by Miuccia Prada as a more colorful spinoff of her original Prada label. Miu Miu is generally described as "playful," and targeted to a younger audience in their 20s and 30s — lots of pop-art colors and patterns, as compared to the more austere black-nylon reputation of Prada. Miu Miu is also less expensive.

They've had some ebb and flow in terms of popular appeal, but have been enjoying a surge of renewed interest and sales in recent years.

Miu Miu merchandise can be found at some stores including Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, but not an entire store. The Highland Park Village location will carry ready-to-wear, footwear, handbags, fashion jewelry, and accessories.

While the release says this is the first store in Texas, there was once a Miu Miu that opened in Houston at the Galleria back in 2011, but it closed prior to the pandemic.

Miuccia Prada is in expansion mode: A massive new Prada store opened in December 2024 at NorthPark Center.

At HPV, Miu Miu will join a designer's den featuring retailers such as Akris, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Brioni, Carolina Herrera, Cartier, Chanel, Chloé, Christian Louboutin, Dior, Fendi, Goyard, Harry Winston, Hermès, Jimmy Choo, LOEWE, Moncler, Ralph Lauren, Rolex, Tom Ford, Vacheron Constantin, Valentino, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
