That's what the new Charming Charlie store in CityCentre had customers pondering, proving that the store's founder, Houston-raised, Episcopal High-schooled, L.A. part-timer Charlie Chanaratsopon, really knows his girls. Chanaratsopon — who might as well be Mick Jagger, considering his red-hot business appeal, as well as his preternatural charm — is unflappably cool (hot photog Terry Richardson shot his newest advertising campaign), which is exactly why PaperCity magazine and the Houston Ballet teamed up with his nationwide (soon to be global) accessories brand for the opening of the ninth — and largest — Charming Charlie in the Houston area. Launched by Chanaratsopon eight years ago in Bellaire where he grew up, the brand is now comprised of 200 stores nationwide, with plans for more. The gleaming new space in CityCentre, designed by Blair Gordon and Emily Jackson, radiates bold stripes and color-blocked displays of jewelry, bags and more. More than 300 guests, including Houston friends and family, congratulated Chanaratsopon, while DJ Slizz spun tunes as cool as the store itself.
