Last fall we honored the most fashionable women and men in Dallas at our first-ever Stylemaker Awards, which culminated in a swanky event at Tootsies. Now it is time for you to help us determine the 2015 Stylemakers — those people who know just the right thing to wear, no matter the occasion. And they make it seem effortless.

From now until August 23, you can nominate your stylish female or male friends (or even yourself) by completing this submission form. From this initial group of nominees, a panel of judges — including yours truly and CultureMap Dallas city editor Lindsey Wilson, 2014 Stylemakers Melissa Rountree and David David Goltl, Cindy Morris of the Hall Agency, and fashion show producer and hall-of-famer Rhonda Sargent Chambers — will select 12 to move into the first voting round, which begins September 8.

On September 30, we will announce the six finalists from round one, and they will move into the final round of public voting to determine the readers’ choice. The editors and judges will also select a favorite at the Stylemaker Awards announcement party, which returns to Tootsies on October 15, thanks to our partner in this endeavor, the Plaza at Preston Center.

The highlight of the celebration is a fashion show, in which the finalists will put their styling skills to work. The editors’ choice and readers’ choice winners will get a Plaza at Preston Center shopping spree and a styled feature in a Plaza ad campaign.

So if you know some people who fit this fashionable bill, nominate them now. And then please ask them how they make it all seem so easy.

Meanwhile, check out this video from last year’s party. Then save the date because you won’t want to miss it.

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

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.
