    Crystal Charity's 10 Best Dressed to wear edgy yet feminine fashions from Alexander McQueen

    Recently the Crystal Charity Ball committee announced some rather big news: Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen will be the featured designer at the highly anticipated 10 Best Dressed Fashion Show and Luncheon this fall, which honors the most stylish and philanthropic ladies in Dallas.

    Every year, the selected women flaunt designer looks on the runway at Neiman Marcus Downtown. Last year, Lanvin was the chosen designer. This year's event promises to be equally seductive, thanks to Burton's exciting and modern designs.

    "[Burton] continues the heritage of the house with theatrical runway presentations that translate effortlessly from the catwalk to the sidewalk," says Ken Downing.

    "Sarah Burton has done a wonderful job with the McQueen label," says Claire Emanuelson, this year's luncheon chair and active Crystal Charity member since 2007. "She is admired worldwide, and I think having a very current designer is a huge plus. There aren't many ladies — or gents — who didn't love the beautiful wedding gown she designed for the Duchess of Cambridge. I'm certain there will be something for everyone."

    "[Burton] brings an excitement and modern elegance to the world of fashion," says Ken Downing, senior vice president and fashion director of Neiman Marcus. "Feminine on the fringe, [Burton] continues the heritage of the house with theatrical runway presentations that translate effortlessly from the catwalk to the sidewalk.

    "Razor-sharp tailoring, couture quality embellishments and her ability to cut a dress that is flattering, feminine and fantastically memorable — these are clothes women embrace and add to their wardrobe season after season."

    Emanuelson says she has no idea what she will be wearing to the September 12 event. "But you know what the label will read!"

    Just one Saks Off 5th store in DFW survives company's nationwide closures

    Saks Off 5th is closing most of its stores.

    Saks Global, parent company of Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, is closing most of its discount designer stores as it tries to wiggle through bankruptcy. In Dallas-Fort Worth, three Saks Off 5th and Neiman Marcus Last Call stores will shutter, and one will remain open.

    According to a release:

    • The Saks Off 5th in Grapevine Mills mall will survive as the only remaining Saks Off 5th in Texas.
    • A Neiman Marcus Last Call store in Grapevine Mills will close.
    • The Saks Off 5th store in Dallas (8040 Park Ln.) will close February 2.
    • The Saks Off 5th location in Grand Prairie (2950 W. I-20 #125) will close February 2.

    In total, 57 Off 5th stores and all remaining Last Call stores will shutter nationwide. (A complete list of closures can be found here.)

    The mass closures come after Saks Global filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections on January 14. The conglomerate has been buckling under the strain of $2.5 million in debt it acquired with the 2024 purchase of rival retailer Neiman Marcus.

    "As we advance on Saks Global's transformation, we are taking decisive steps to realign our business to better serve our luxury customers and drive full-price selling across our core luxury businesses," says Geoffroy van Raemdonck, chief executive officer of Saks Global, in a release. "With these actions, we will be well positioned to seize the greatest opportunities for long-term growth and value creation. We sincerely thank our Saks Off 5th and Last Call colleagues for the important role they have played in serving our loyal customers."

    In good news for shoppers, many of the U.S. stores, including those in DFW, will kick off closing sales beginning January 31. Additionally, saksoff5th.com will wind down its operations with an online closing sale beginning Friday, January 30.

    The select Saks Off 5th stores remaining open, including the Grapevine Mills location, will serve primarily as a selling channel for residual inventory from Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman, the company says.

    The overall primary market for luxury goods has been declining in recent years due to changing customer preferences, a perceived decline in quality in top brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and a growing resale market led by sites like The RealReal and Vestaire Collective.
