STEPHEN LEWIS Blooming Genius in-Ups: Decades before Cindy Sherman ��� and two generations before Zoe Crosher ��� there was Florida-based lens lady Bunny Yeager. She was every bit as glamorous as curvaceous burlesque-poster vamp Bettie Page, Yeager���s muse who often posed while frolicking in the Miami sun and sea. At the height of her career, Yeager���s imagery graced pages ranging from Playboy to now defunct gents��� mags Rogue and Wink. She also worked in Hollywood: The famed 1962 still of Ursula Andress for Bond flick Dr. No. was Yeager���s. In fact, her 1964 book How I Photograph Myself is credited as a major inspiration for Miz Sherman. Rediscover Yeager in a provocative show at PDNB Gallery that encompasses both vintage and reprinted images, as well as original contact sheets (through May 11). The Bunny revival is also celebrated by Rizzoli���s Bunny Yeager���s Darkroom: Pin-Up Photography���s Golden Era (September 2012, $60; available at the gallery) and even a swimwear collection by German line Bruno Banani. Gallery Boom: Kristy Stubbs will pop up her eponymous Highland Village gallery and move to the 200 Crescent Court building in a venture with Avondale+Art. For more on the art boom ��� including the dealers who are redefining what it means to be a gallerist ��� pick up our April issue, perfectly timed with the Dallas Art Fair (Preview Gala April 11; Fair days, April 12 ��� 14). Fair Dish: Speaking of our Texas-founded Fair, the latest is the arrival of the intriguing, out-of-the-booth Seven experience at the Dallas Contemporary, concurrent with Fair week ��� a cool addition to the lineup that signals a tantalizing brush between a nonprofit and commercial entities. MAP-Making: We���re mad for MAP, Janeil Engelstad���s catalytic Making Art with Purpose triennial, which debuts in Dallas come October with at least one Documenta-exhibited talent (makeartwithpurpose.net). Window Gazing: Deep Ellum real estate firm Deep Ellum 42 has launched an ongoing collaboration that begins with acclaimed artist Stephen Lapthisophon and the collective Apophenia Underground. Stay tuned for edgy, important exhibitions in vacant storefronts at 2701 and 2650B Main Street (deepellumwindows.tumblr.com). Father and Son: Also in Deep Ellum, catch Kirk Hopper Fine Art���s doubleheader for Bill Haveron and son Hans, who combine obsessive drawing with hermetic metaphor (March 2 ��� April 13). Catherine D. Anspon �� Be Our BFF Design: Inside the Preston Hollow home of Jenny and John Kirtland 46 Art Notes Bunny Yeager���s Self-Portrait Wearing a Peignoir, North Miami, 1960, at PDNB Gallery ith a spring Tiffany Leather Collection awash in daffodil, geranium and gardenia white, designers John Truex and Richard Lambertson seem to have doused Tiffany & Co. in Miracle-Gro. But theirs aren���t your garden-variety handbags, as evidenced by the custom-designed hardware and signature Tiffany-blue linings. ���We were inspired by flower markets in the city and the sun-drenched countryside,��� Lambertson says. ���The vivid colors reflect the tailored simplicity, crisp shirting, and stripes we saw on the runways.��� The duo does the minaudi��re one better with a trio of clutches that makes us want to banish our winter satchels to the back of the closet, pronto: the foldover Babette with resin links, the glazed crocodile Sabrina and the mirror-sided Ava in pebbled or smooth leather. And for those times we need to carry more than a credit card and iPhone, there are plenty more commodious options, including the aptly named TRT (Tiffany Reversible Tote) that goes from camel to eye-popping yellow in a flash, the colorblocked Celia with exposed zipper detailing and the Devin frame bag in natural wicker sparked with silver leather trim ��� all sure to give our warm-weather wardrobes a little get up and grow. At Tiffany & Co. Amy Adams �� BUNNY YEAGER, COURTESY OF PDNB GALLERY characteristic that can be found in everything from an East Dallas seafood restaurant to a Preston Hollow home. As a consumer, the trick is to learn how to identify what truly resonates, then surrounding yourself with the best you can afford. Up-to-the-minute trends are fun, but quality, integrity and that sometimes difficult-to-identify style factor ultimately provides the most bang for the buck. Literally and figuratively. This month���s issue features many things that fit the above description, and I hope you have just as much fun reading about them as we did discovering them. Our mantra was: interesting, authentic and easy on the eyes. Just like my suit. [ [ M ore than 20 years ago, I made a major investment at Neiman Marcus: a boucl�� suit by Karl Lagerfeld in the color of a Spanish olive. Granted, it was on sale and I was receiving an employee discount at the time, but even then the price made me quake slightly. Yet its construction was flawless, the style was unlike anything I owned, and when I slipped it on, I felt transformed. I wore it until the lining practically dissolved, then parted with it via eBay several years back. But when I remember the many compliments it garnered ��� and the confidence it gave me ��� I still believe it was one of the best purchases I ever made. It wasn���t traditional in the way of a navy single-breasted jacket or a strand of pearls, but it possessed a certain something that made a statement for more than two decades. For me, that type of timelessness isn���t always quietly classic. It involves being extraordinarily unique, a Query any fabulously attired Dallas femme about the origin of her ensemble and, quite often, the answer is ���Alexander McQueen.��� (Case in point: Ashley Tripplehorn Hunt at the 2012 Crystal Charity Ball.) So, it was no surprise when Neiman Marcus and The Crystal Charity Ball committee announced that the Alexander McQueen collection would be featured at the Ten Best Dressed Women of Dallas Fashion Show and Luncheon Thursday, September 12, at the flagship store. Media sponsor PaperCity will take copious notes next month when Claire Emanuelson ��� chairman of the 39th annual event and a fixture on the aforementioned list ��� and Crystal Charity Ball chairman Caren Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2013 Kline reveal this year���s honorees, a lineup of women who share a high degree of personal style and a deep commitment to community service, during a reception Wednesday, April 3, at Neiman Marcus. And while the jury���s still out on whether or not new mom and designer Sarah Burton will attend the big event, there���s no question that tickets will be as sought-after as those now-iconic skull clutches.
