The New Orleans-born designer was raised in Mexico City and moved to NYC in 2001 to work with Proenza Schouler, J. Mendel, and Calvin Klein (during the Raf years). Her designs have held true to the legacy of Mark Cross, but she's also brought some younger verve (who doesn't love a bag with a detachable strap adorned with candy- colored plumage). The interior of the space echoes the elements that inspired the new collection: burled wood, concrete, and silver metallic pedestals. The Rear Window bag in grape feather is an exclusive, and you can create a custom bag via the Made to Order program … Shinola Detroit, which has an outpost in NorthPark Center, has an exciting premiere for 2023: the newest edition of the Monster GMT wrist watch.

A sapphire crystal case back window reveals the complex inner workings of the movement inside … Also, we were thoroughly intrigued to hear of Grange Hall's Floral Society program. The hallowed apothecary provides you with monthly delivery of a featured flower in one of their wondrous arrangements. Yes, we want to be that girl.

Lubbock Brethren: Call it a survey, call it a retrospective.

The decades-spanning exhibition presents a new take on the work of West Texas collaborators Jeff and Bryan Wheeler, brothers who birthed the art scene in Lubbock with their mythic happenings, dubbed Ulterior Motifs. The Wheelers' paintings, works on paper, and ceramics skewer Texas tall tales and fables while examining what it means to live in a surreal place far from art-making capitals. Expect a deft melding of insider observation informed by wry humor, painted in a flat, neo-Pop style, where art history and life on the High Plains of West Texas collide (January 14 - February 11).
