OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. C owboys are in the zeitgeist this fall. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art has its antenna attuned to this phenomenon, and that's no surprise: This arts institution, which is located right where the West begins (Fort Worth, home of stockyards and once the last civilized outpost for cowboys driving cattle along the Chisholm Trail). Now on view at the museum is "Cowboy," a show that subverts, questions, and exposes myths — in this case, the trope of the white, cisgender American cowboy as seen in the emblematic advertising image of the Marlboro Man. (Richard Prince's take on Marlboro Man is included in this exhibition.) Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Denver, "Cowboy" touches down for six months at The Carter, presenting 60 works across wide-ranging media, by more than 25 artists, spanning the 1960s to today. "Cowboy," through March 23, 2025, at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, cartermuseum.org. Catherine D. Anspon The Magic of Givenchy And voilà! Givenchy has opened its 10th location in the Americas in Dallas at NorthPark Center, just as the announcement hits that Sarah Burton has been named creative director of the brand, succeeding Matthew Williams, who departed in January 2024. Burton was previously creative director at Alexander McQueen for more than 20 years and departed last year. Remarkably, McQueen was also creative director at Givenchy from 1996 to 2001, designing his own label as well. Burton's first collection f o r t h e LV M H - o w n e d Givenchy is March 2025. The new 5,600-square-foot boutique houses the coveted ready-to-wear and accessories collections for women and men, including the women's Shark Lock boots in leather, strass, and cowgirl styles; the Voyou bag; and a new take on the classic Antigona Cube bag. The interiors feature a design mixing sharp and soft, rough and matte, industrial and natural. A neutral stone- gray palette is juxtaposed with seating upholstery created from an archival tiger-print fabric made of cut silk velvet from Hubert de Givenchy's home. Givenchy has had its share of cinematic moments, starting when movie-star handsome Hubert de Givenchy launched his first collection in 1952 and soon after met Audrey Hepburn — and the little black dress and Sabrina neckline made history. In 2018, 29 million people watched, entranced, as Meghan Markle married Prince Harry sheathed in a long-sleeved, bonded satin wedding dress designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy.
