    Dior Debut

    Dior picks Dallas’ Highland Park Village for first beauty emporium of its kind

    Texas gets its first Dior Beauty, a wonderland of skincare and cosmetics.

    At only 600 square feet, the new Dior Beauty in Highland Park Village is probably smaller than some master closets in the area. Yet the boutique is proof that good things come in small packages, because in the world of Dior, even a bottle of nail polish remover looks like an objet d’art.

    Luxury lipsticks, skin creams in gold-capped containers, and fragrance bottles line the walls of the petite shop, located just a few doors down from the store that carries the Parisian couture house's designer clothing. At first look, it seems simple enough — it’s all of Dior’s beautifully packaged cosmetics, skincare products, and scents in one space — but then a store clerk shows off the perks of the high-class setup, one of only three in the country — and the first in Texas.

    Many items, says the clerk, aren’t sold at cosmetic counters anywhere else in the city. For example, before the Highland Park boutique opened, Chicago was the closest place Dallasites could go to take a whiff of the dozen perfumes in La Collection Privée, a line crafted by in-house perfumer François Demachy.

    She flips through the settings on a mirrored vanity that emulate different temperatures of light and allow clients to apply makeup according to the occasion, whether it be a sunny outdoor wedding or an important boardroom meeting. Then, she walks behind the back wall of the shop and points out a third vanity. Here, she says, clients who appreciate privacy can put on their faces in peace.

    Walking past the private vanity and around a corner, the clerk opens the door to a room with floor-to-ceiling, white-lacquered cabinets and a single spa bed in the middle. Though a Dior Beauty opened in Las Vegas years ago, the added bonus of a spa room — called a “cabine” in Dior-speak — is a first for Dior in the U.S.

    “It’s soundproof, it has its own sound system, its own cooling system, and a one-of-a-kind spa bed. The bed is $20,000. It vibrates. It heats,” says store manager D’Onna Winn. “This is first-class luxury. You can’t get this anywhere else.”

    Hour-long spa appointments, Winn says, are provided by the boutique’s in-house facialist, an aesthetician with three decades of experience and training under the Parisian headquarters’ top skincare expert. The cabine’s customized facials with shoulder and hand massages are complimentary, though a purchase of three skincare products is required. (Take note: Creams run from $60 all the way up to $420 for a half-ounce of the skin-strengthening L’or De Vie.)

    In fact, all of the “Dior experiences” are complimentary with purchase. Winn says everyone from bridal parties to single ladies prepping for a big night out are welcome to sip Champagne and have their makeup perfected by the boutique’s professional makeup artists.

    See it all for yourself: The shop’s doors are already open and the grand opening soiree is set for January 28.

    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.
