H ermès creative director Pierre Hardy further links himself into French fashion house's legacy with Chaine d'Ancre 2. This latest iteration of the Chaine d'Ancre motif is seen in his spring/summer women's and men's jewelry collection of bracelets, pendent necklaces, brooches, rings, earrings and cuff links. The motif was first incorporated into the Hermès design vocabulary in 1938 after Robert Dumas, grandson of founder Thierry Hermès, spotted an anchor chain in a Normandy harbor that reminded him of a bit's curb chain; the equestrian overtones struck a chord in the family's horsey heritage, and the emblem was assimilated into designs through the 1960s. Hardy turns the medium into the message by enlarging the scale of the chain and accenting pieces with a ribbed finish. We love the new women's accessories and objets for the home, from vibrant silk scarfs to restrained tableware. $450 to $6,750, at the Hermès boutique.

SIMON GENTRY T hankfully, spring has finally arrived, so it's goodbye cozy fireside evenings, hello bike-ride sunsets around White Rock Lake — it's time to get that fitness regime in gear for summer! But, there is much ado about everything this month before we consider our summer escape, and PaperCity is all over Dallas in April, with the Mad Hatter's Tea Party at the Dallas Arboretum, Heroes & Handbags luncheon, the Greer Garson Gala, and TACA Party on the Green in early May — read our Social Datebook for all the scoop. However, if movies, music and art rock your world, then take note on this month's Hot Tickets sponsored by PaperCity. On April 3, hit the red carpet for the Dallas Film Society's Dallas International Film Festival opening night, and prep for movie screenings galore all week long through April 13. The next evening, April 4, is the must-attend rock 'n' roll art auction: MTV Re:Define. Phew! But wait, there's more. For first dibs, purchase tickets to the Dallas Art Fair Preview Gala April 10, or hang out at Fashion Industry Gallery all weekend for the entire Art Fair. On April 11, do double duty and attend the highly anticipated Dallas Contemporary exhibition opening of esteemed artists Richard Phillips and Julian Schnabel. If you want to get up close and personal with the exhibition artists, then join them post opening April 12 for Chit Chats at the Dallas Contemporary. But, you must read our Dallas Art Fair section for all the need- to-know insider details, cleverly edited by our executive/fine arts editor Catherine D. Anspon. We know fashion and we know style, and all these social gatherings warrant serious shopping — something Dallas certainly knows how to do. Take a peek at our spring style page, and peruse our fashion story, "Unapologetic Aesthetic." And in early May, Lauren Santo Domingo, co-founder of Moda Operandi, visits Dallas to host a fall trunk show with our style contributor Nasiba Adilova, with PaperCity as the sponsor. Ready-to-wear designer appearances include Josep Font of Delpozo, the eponymous label of British designer Emilia Wickstead, shoes by Paul Andrew and handbags by M2Malletier. It's a private event, but if your heart desires these super-hot collections, send me a note. Brilliant!

Patience and long-term vision often seem to go together, and when applied to the real estate business — retail centers in particular — the outcome can be truly amazing projects. Stephen and Ray at Highland Park Village and David and Nancy at NorthPark Center seem to have endless patience in the way they pick, choose, sometimes wait years and ultimately secure retailers they want. They wait for the right spaces to open up and thoughtfully maneuver to create tenant mixes that create superior retail experiences for customers. It's a real artistry, and they do it right — and we all benefit. Finally, your patience has paid off: The amazing Dallas Art Fair is here again, starting April 11. Join in: Attend panel discussions and look and buy some great art. See you there. Jim Kastleman Publisher jim@papercitymag.com 42 Parties: Book signings with Howard Slatkin chez Laura Hunt, Timothy Corrigan at ID Collection Special Section: Everywhere you need to be at the Dallas Art Fair It seems improbable, but Dallas Art Fair turns six this spring. We remember year one, when 30 dealers took over Fashion Industry Gallery, thus beginning what has become a Texas convergence that makes the state proud. Even back in 2009, it was clear that something important was launching. This is one four- day event that we have never, ever missed. It's sacrosanct, in fact. Every collector we know attends; museum curators flock. See what these cognoscenti say about the second weekend in April — hatched by co-founders John Sughrue and Chris Byrne during a lunchtime conversation years ago — when you turn to our Dallas Art Fair Special Section in this issue. Also, save the section as your guide to navigate the Fair and the days leading up to it, now rebranded as Dallas Arts Week. As well as the nights … For after Fair hours, the Dallas Contemporary takes the cake with PaperCity-sponsored dual openings (Friday, April 11) for artists Richard Phillips and Julian Schnabel — something we're tremendously excited about. Peter Doroshenko interviewed Phillips for our March issue, while this scribe rang up the bigger-than-life Schnabel (surely the University of Houston's most illustrious son) on his cell — an experience I'll never forget. How did the conversation go? Turn to page 36 to find out. One parting note about the Fair: It strikes a fine balance between international and homegrown, from Jonathan Viner and Massimo de Carlo to Ro2 and RE Gallery. At the end of the day, most of the exhibiting players are independents, whose unwavering commitment to contemporary artists rises above the mere market to ignite a conceptual dialogue around which we gather in the communal light of the Dallas Art Fair campfire.

Where does one start. Brilliant. That's a start. His painting and sculpture are included in major museum collections, among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Dallas Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and The Menil Collection. Yet, in the past decade, gems have appealed to his intellect. Continuing his artistic dialogue with Latin America, Europe, Italy, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and India, he presents a fine jewelry collection each season; each piece is a unique, titled work of art and available exclusively at Stanley Korshak. On Friday, April 4, Michael Tracy makes a rare appearance at Korshak with this year's Melliflora collection, taken from the tragic heroine in John Weever's operatic 17th century poem Faunus and Melliflora. The heroine's name and the collection evoke the grace of pastoral beauty, the delicate nature of honeybees and the tragedy of Colony Collapse Disorder — if honeybees become extinct, then life will cease. Meet Mr. Tracy Friday through Sunday, April 4 through 6, as he shows his collection mellifluously fashioned in 22K gold, milk amber, diamonds and honey-colored sapphires. The collection remains at Korshak through mid-month. At Stanley Korshak.

The retail mecca is in the midst of a $2 million, 5,000-square-foot revamp. "It's proven to be the ideal time to expand some key businesses, as well as pursue some completely new ventures," says owner Crawford Brock. The first phase, a larger bridal salon more than twice the size of the former shop, opens this month complete with a new Vera Wang boutique, the addition of designer Naeem Khan's new bridal collection, as well as new in-house custom designer Nha Khanh. Already home to 15 bridal designers, the shop will now house gowns for mothers of the bride and suits and tuxedos for the groom. "Our Women's Shak and Bridal Salon will open in double the amount of space, followed by the launch of our Men's Shak later this summer," Brock says. The new Shak space takes over the former gift and bridal area and is expected to open next month with a larger selection of shoes, jewelry and handbags. The final phase will be the transfer of men's contemporary into the current Shak space. Debuting in July, the Men's Shak will house names like Vince, Rag & Bone and John Varvatos, to name a few, while introducing a small department for men's suits. Here's to a fashionable future!
