While producing this art-loaded issue, Gail Sachson's "Ask Me About Art" tours came to mind. For all we've happily done during the last month is ask people about their art. She, along with plenty of creative sorts, ignited our fervor to seek out the ones who drive our Dallas art scene. While we were typing away in the office, nationally iconic artist Shepard Fairey was out in the Dallas streets, leaving his mark via murals on buildings in west Dallas and his musical mark on the Phenomenon fund-raiser at Dallas Contemporary, where he spun old-school hip-hop for the sold-out crowd. In this edition, we delve into the encyclopedic mind of our new Eugene McDermott Director of the Dallas Museum of Art, Max Anderson, as well as his stunning wife, Jacqueline. Cindy Rachofsky was charged with chairing the search committee for Max, and after meeting him, I immediately texted her to thank her for bringing someone so fantastic COURTESY THE ARTIST AND FEATURE INC. Brooke Hortenstine to our city — someone who knows vast amounts about European art, and who can also reference Eloise at the Plaza. For our feature house, we glide into Janelle and Alden Pinnell's home, where art reigns supreme. I first met the Pinnells at a concert at the Granada Theater, and it was then I learned of their fixation for live music — a passion that translates into all points of their life, namely their contemporary art collection. As you can tell, we are as partial to art as the subjects in this issue, so mark your calendars for our next obsession: The upcoming Dallas Art Fair the weekend of April 13 through 15.

It's … an Emporium! B rian Bolke is a proud fashion father these days, as his notable Forty Five Ten now boasts a sibling. Called Five and Ten, this youthful and sporty complement to his McKinney Avenue outpost was born in Highland Park Village, in the corner space most recently occupied by Pucci's pop-up shop. This homage to the five-and-dimes of long ago, stocks small runs of hard-to-find clothing lines, shoes, accessories, plus pet, stationery and home items. For her, browse J Brand ready-towear, Victoria Beckham denim and MM6 Maison Martin Margiela. For him, peruse Michael Bastian, Aloha Rag and Marc Jacobs. So excited are we about the new arrival, we couldn't help but pen our kind of nursery rhyme announcing more of the retail mix: There are Barton Perreira sunglasses for the eyes, Mungo & Maud for the pets, Band of Outsiders in your size and Diptyque for fêtes; Lanvin Petite for the little one, Assouline for the abodes, Orlebar Brown swimwear for the sun and Costume National for your toes. Droese Raney Architecture outfitted the space with wallpaper resembling scrap wood, black-and-white scroll-patterned carpeting and artworks by Hugo Guinness, all tucked in this tiny precious emporium that carries, per the tagline, "a little bit of everything." 60 Highland Park Village, 214.252.0510; shopfiveandten.com.
