Retail keeps climbing back and Galleria Dallas is at the ready, with a round of new stores, in time for holiday spending and jewelry splurging.

The North Dallas mall is welcoming six new stores which have either opened already or will open by early October. It marks a second round for the Galleria, which welcomed five new vendors in July. So many stores, so little time.

Here are the six new stores you need to check out:

Sprinkles ATM
This automated version of the popular cupcake brand is probably one of the Galleria's best, and surely most innovative, new offerings. The Sprinkles Cupcake ATM is the world's first cupcake ATM, which dispenses freshly baked cupcakes 24/7. The flavors are limited to best-sellers including red velvet, dark chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, sprinkles, and black & white, but they're advertised as fresh and baked daily. Opening: The ATM is now open on the rink level.

JD Sports
British sports-fashion retail company with shops throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Asia, New Zealand and Australia sells brands including Nike, Vans, Crocs, Fila, The North Face, New Balance, Converse, and Adidas. Opening: The store is now open on Level 3 near Macy's.

MKT
Also a novel concept, this venue provides one-stop shopping with five local boutiques in one, featuring five DFW brands and five local artists. The store sells women's and men's clothing, accessories, and art. This will be the store's second location, after its successful debut in Dallas' West Village. Opening: MKT is scheduled to open in early October on Level 2 near Macy's.

Pelindaba Lavender
Premier grower of lavender plants, distiller of lavender essential oils, and handcrafter of lavender products. Pelindaba is a Zulu word that can be translated as “place of great gatherings." They offer lavender products for self-care, therapy, the kitchen, the home, the outdoors, floral décor and pets as well as artwork and gifts. The shop in Galleria Dallas will be the company’s 11th nationwide. Opening: In October on Level 2 near Nordstrom.

Candy Club
Since 2014, Candy Club has been creating sweet moments with a modern twist on classic sweets — making it whimsical for kids with a touch of nostalgia for adults. The company offers amazing, premium candies at affordable prices. Opening: In early October, in a kiosk on level 2 outside Buckle.

Rare Halston fashion exhibition now on display in unlikely Texas city

A rare exhibition honoring fashion pioneer Halston has popped up in an unexpected place: West Texas. Dallas fashionistas who are fans of the designer can make a five-hour pilgrimage to Odessa’s newly revamped Ellen Noël Art Museum to view "Halston: Inventing American Fashion."

Halston’s minimalistic fashions are rarely the subjects of retrospectives, although the designer’s dramatic life story recently had a pop-cultural resurgence through a 2021 Ryan Murphy miniseries. "Halston: Inventing American Fashion" assesses the talent that made him a household name.

Known now for outfitting 1970s icons like Liza Minelli and Bianca Jagger, Halston changed the international reputation of American sportswear as part of the famous 1973 “Battle of Versailles” fashion show, holding his own against Paris’ most lauded couturiers. His uniquely louche style still influences contemporary brands like Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, and Tom Ford, who was briefly the creative director for a revised Halston label.

The mannequins in the Odessa display are outfitted with 75 ensembles from flowing Ultrasuede daywear to more dramatic draped gowns. The pieces “illustrate how Halston revolutionized fashion by prioritizing comfort, confidence, and modern femininity,” according to a release.

Although Odessa may seem an odd choice for the show, Halston had deep Texas connections. After he moved on from hat making, Amarillo millionaire Estelle Marsh was his sole backer willing to fund his first Madison Avenue boutique.

And the recently completed renovation of Odessa's Ellen Noël Art Museum has some of the designer’s signature sleek. Designed by architect R.J. Lopez, the renovation includes new galleries and improved circulation, but the centerpiece is a striking transparent façade, replacing the original brick of the 1985 building.

“The renovation project has been over 10 years in the making and in the construction phase for the past two years,” says the museum’s buildings manager, Steve Patton, via a release. “The completion of the project has resulted in an incredible facility that is a shining star in West Texas, offering programs and exhibits that will be a destination point for people all over the world!”

"Halston: Inventing American Fashion" will run through March 22. Admission to the Ellen Noël Art Museum is free.
