FULTON DAVENPORT Tom Ford and Frederic Malle. Candles you light with a match — not sticks, nothing electronic. One-off restaurants that pour heart and soul into food, presentation and service. Full-service gas stations. Car mechanics who wash and detail your car just because you brought it in for service (hello, Texas-German AutoHaus!). Green American Express — now that there is no Continental Airlines Presidents Club entrance with Amex Platinum, there's no point in any other color — for $55 a year. I could go on.

Jerri Moore NOVEMBER 2012 | STYLE | FASHION | SOCIAL 8 Fashion Houston Parties: Lovely luncheons at The Center, Partners UTHealth School of Nursing, Women's Hospital of Texas Labor Day; Small Steps Nurturing Center Design: The Wimberley studio of photographer George Krause A Continental Credo Designer Betty Lou Phillips has released her 11th design book, The Allure of French and Italian Décor (Gibbs Smith, $60), a wealth of pictorial and written advice on such topics as Venetian plaster, sourcing reclaimed materials and creating the feeling of an established home. With more than 200 luscious images, it's a romp through the historical development of French and Italian interiors, with a visual overview of this look brought stateside through the eyes and the design work of Ms. Phillips. From the Margiela Archives to H&M E PAUL WETHERELL S uch a busy, busy month. So much so that I'm not even going to get into it. Read Social Whirl on page 8, and your head will whirl. This visual stimuli all about makes we want to edit — not this magazine, silly, but my life. And since that's not possible, then my surroundings. What's got to go: LinkedIn. Designer collaborations with random stores — The Limited with a Vogue Fashion Fund winner? Really? That will spark shopping … Doing business on Facebook. Film stars' fragrances — any and all. Period. Restaurants that expand. Has it ever worked? United Airlines — everything about them. What can stay: The Menil 25th Anniversary Gala. Art openings. Designer collaborations with H&M (Maison Martin Margiela, November 15, is brilliant!). Personalized scents from Le Labo, Go Front Row at ccentric French fashion label Maison Martin Margiela presents a unique collection in collaboration with Swedish retailer H&M — a re-edition of some the design house's most directional looks since the founding of the brand in 1989, in stores and online Thursday, November 15. The collection for men and women highlights many of Margiela's trademark techniques: visible tailoring, oversized shape, trompe l'oeil, masculine silhouettes, wit and the ironic reinterpretation of common materials into new sartorial uses, such as a duvet-cover coat and car-seat-cover dress. We'll be scooping up slim-cut menswear-inspired biker jackets, tuxedo jackets, supersized cardigans, the winter-white duvet coat and painted denim, all in intellectual shades of white, black, red, Maison Martin Margiela for H&M nude and silver. Of the accessories, the clear wedge pumps, leather guitar cover and glove coin purse are standouts. And in case you're wondering, each is labeled with a special tag indicating the season of origination. Re-edition of Maison Martin Margiela at the H&M boutique and hm.com, launching Thursday, November 15. Megan Pruitt Winder NOVEMBER | PAGE 4 | 2012
