Well-dressed Dallas gents now have a new place to shop: WAREhaus softly opened September 22 in West Village. The store, brought to us by Patrick Ware, Erin McBriar and Tony Medley, promises to push fashion boundaries by offering an always-evolving mix of casual wear and tailored suiting “inspired by a combination of Americana mixed with our country's British roots.”

Among the lines exclusive to WAREhous in Dallas are British-made Percival, coming to the States for the first time this fall; Riviera Club, a happy marriage of surfer and prep coming out of Santa Barbara, California; and vintage-inspired but totally contemporary Wolf vs Goat, which incorporates materials hand-constructed by American artisans.

“When shopping, men are demanding better quality and distinctive style,” said partner Patrick Ware in a statement. “WAREhaus will help clients define their sense of style and push their boundaries to be unique. We keep fashion forward and relaxed, not intimidating.”

If the name Patrick Ware sounds familiar, it should: He used to be the men’s buyer and general manager at the gone-but-never-forgotten Lifestyle Fashion Terminal (LFT) in Victory Park, where fashion was always forward. McBriar was a fellow buyer at LFT.

In addition to cool threads, WAREhaus has a Haus Bar for kicking back and watching the game. Surely “kicking back” is code for imbibing, yes?

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.
