P ost February-issue deadline, I headed straight to the Houston office for brainstorming meetings with the editorial team. At the end of January, I hopped on a plane to New York to meet with group associate publisher Monica Bickers and executive editor of fashion and digital Kate Stukenberg for a snowy slew of client meetings in Manhattan, where we bid farewell to Pastis over pommes frites and Chablis, dined at The Fat Radish with veggies aplenty, scouted Japanese label Sacai at Dover Street Market (on my must-have list) and, of course, lunched at Bergdorf Goodman. Third trip: Back to Houston to review the progress on our new website that launches later this year. A highly productive, thoroughly positive and an immensely exciting month! So, what's in store for March? You must read "Style DNA," and if you don't giggle, well, my favorite hairstylist (literally), the stylish and funny Gregg Asher, will at least make you smile with his witty ways, spliced with Tayler Carson Sandvick; this Million Dollar Shoppers reality TV show duo (Lifetime) is waiting patiently for news that the production of season two will begin soon. Access into creative minds are always fascinating; read "The Branding of Leon Banowetz" and "Pop Quiz: Who's Coming to Dallas in April?" — opposite ends of the artistic spectrum, yet both successfully creative. Our spring fashion, themed "Art Forms" — perfectly apt for this issue — is a fluid interpretation of moods and movements in modern and contemporary art. And, swoon away with Louisiana-Cali native Joslyn Taylor as she lures a lush touch across her family abode — decor delights are featured in every corner of her home in "Bohemian Rhapsody." We're one month out, and anticipation is building for Dallas Art Week, Dallas Art Fair, MTV Re:Define and the exhibitions of Richard Phillips and Julian Schnabel. Indeed, excitement bubbles with gallerists, curators, artists and artful voyeurs all primed to assemble for the sixth annual Dallas Art Fair next month. We can't wait!

Co-chairs Kenny Goss and Joyce Goss are coordinating this year's rock 'n' roll event alongside advisory chairs Jessica Nowitzki and Anna- Sophia van Zweden (the 2012 co- chairs) and Georgia Arnold, executive director and founder of the MTV Staying Alive Foundation, a grassroots HIV and AIDS prevention and awareness charity. For the first time, the art exhibition and auction gala will benefit both Staying Alive and the Dallas Contemporary — replacing Bespoke, the nonprofit art museum's largest annual fund-raiser. The gala regroups with Brit team Future Tense (London lads Ed Bartlett and Paul Missing), along with Kenny Goss and Peter Doroshenko, executive director of the Dallas Contemporary, who are curating an art auction of specially commissioned artworks. (Previous artists have included Marc Quinn, Damien Hirst and Gérard Rancinan.) American artist Richard Phillips serves as artistic director for this year's gala; his artful touch includes a prequel show before the major opening exhibition at the Dallas Contemporary on April 11, during Dallas Art Fair. MTV Re:Define has some high-power supporters: Sir Elton John will donate personal VIP tickets to his Las Vegas show, including backstage access to meet the musical maestro and a photo opp, while Texas' fave supermodel Jerry Hall will be the gala's guest of honor. Host committee and sponsors include Nasiba Adilova and Thomas Hartland- Mackie, Rebecca and Ken Bruder, David Nichols, Joanne and Mark Giambrone, Selwyn Rayzor and Rich Moses, Gonzalo Bueno and Michael McCray, Muffin and John Lemak, Niven Morgan and Shelby Wagner, Laree Hulshof and Ben Fisher, and Rajan Patel, with PaperCity as media sponsor. The artistic extravaganza, is at the Dallas Contemporary, 161 Glass Street, Friday April 4. Tickets, mtvredefine2014.eventbrite.com.

So, it was only a matter of time until Parker debuted a collection of her own, teaming up with nothing short of the best — and an obvious choice for the Sex and the City actress: George Malkemus, CEO of Manolo Blahnik. SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker debuts exclusively at Nordstrom and nordstrom.com with more than 25 shoe styles, all made in Italy, along with three handbags and an A-line fitted trench coat. Parker found inspiration in her childhood grosgrain ribbons (a detail on every style), flower images from the Sex and the City wardrobe, and classic styles from the late '70s to the early '80s. Each is named in homage to one of Parker's muses, from the obvious Carrie Bradshaw to the vintage Maud Frizon and Charles Jourdan. Meet the actress yourself when she comes to town for a PA at Nordstrom March 9, 12:30 to 1:30 pm. $195 to $500, at Nordstrom, nordstrom. com. Megan Pruitt Winder Richard Phillips' Lindsay VI, 2013 T his month, Swarovski's first in-house jewelry collection within its Atelier Swarovski line launches at Forty Five Ten. German jewelry designer Husam El Odeh, who won the 2010 British Fashion Award for Emerging Accessories Designer, created the collection inspired by light and color as they fluently exist in nature, as well as the sexually charged images of women by Helmut Newton, circa 1970s. Translation: Large crystal-studded jewels in organically molded silver and gold shapes, plus disco-worthy pavé pieces in emerald, black, silver and gold. And, since this is Swarovski, you can bet your beads they sparkle. $115 to $1,170, at Forty Five Ten. Anna Schuster T raveling to Paris is always a trip I look forward to months in advance; it's one of my favorite places in the world. I feel transformed — even in the taxi ride from the airport — as I try to catch the perfect shot of that "very French" moment with my phone. Last month, I visited the City of Lights for haute couture week, which is my favorite fashion week by far. It's all about clients, beauty, high-budget shows and all the haute flare. From the perfectly dressed attendees and the beautiful doormen holding umbrellas to escort you in the rain to the invitations hand-addressed with delicate calligraphy, it's all magical. Here are a few of my favorite moments from the Paris haute couture shows. Nasiba Adilova Jewels: Sabine G is a dear friend, and her current Art Deco-inspired collection left me in awe. I caught up with her between shows in Hôtel Le Bristol and did not want to take off all of her lovely rings. I especially love the delicate pinky rings with colored sapphires. Of course, my all-time favorite for jewelry is chic Dallasite Sue Gragg, who made a pair of gorgeous vintage-looking cameo earrings from which I'm inseparable. Stay Warm: Perfect to wear to a show or out to Caviar Kaspia for dinner, this red Raf Simons for Dior coat is the quintessential feminine and chic Dior look that will stay current through the years. For walks around town, I love my Moncler M by Mary Katrantzou puffer jacket. Not only is it warm, but it livens up any bad weather with that "very Mary" print. Designers to watch: I've recently discovered Delpozo, a young new designer whose unique cuts, heavy embroidery and feminine silhouettes I adore. I'm also addicted to all of the clothes by my dear friend, London-based designer Emilia Wickstead. I wore her fantastic tartan suit to the Chanel Haute Couture show with a very cool vintage hat I scored in Dallas' own Dolly Python. It very much reminded me of the hats from Chanel's Dallas Métiers d'Art show. My special purchase: While visiting the Louis Vuitton showroom, I came across the most incredible embroidered ostrich- leather motorcycle jacket with feathers. The combination seems so unlikely, but it is a masterpiece! Since September was the last show of Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, this jacket is definitely a collector's piece that will never age (though it costs an arm and a leg!). Made for walking: I absolutely adore a simple pump and own them in so many colors, fabrics and heel heights. In my opinion, Gianvitto Rossi and Aquazurra make the best on the market. I've tested them personally, and they are as comfortable as wearing flats. On the catwalk: Elie Saab's couture show was exquisite and gave meaning to the traditions of couture ateliers.
