SIMON GENTRY A s we closed the July issue last month, I escaped deadline to visit Neiman Marcus NorthPark Center to meet the chairman emeritus of Estée Lauder, Leonard Lauder, and its British brand ambassador, Elizabeth Hurley. I didn't want to miss out on a conversation with Ms. Hurley (BTW, she shared with me that she's working on a new drama about a fictional royal family, The Royals, coming to E! soon). Mr. Lauder charmed the crowd for the opening of the in-store Estée Lauder boutique, commenting, "I love Dallas, and I love Neiman's" and "The most glamorous ladies in the world come from Texas." I could not agree with him more! For my last summer getaway, I am taking a trip to England to attend a wedding in Bristol — in my home county, Somerset. Graffiti art aficionados will know this as the home city of anonymous graffiti artist Banksy, and I plan to visit a few of his most famous works on the streets. Also headquartered in Somerset is luxury brand Mulberry. Quintessentially British, Mulberry is opening a store in Dallas in late October — only the second Mulberry store in North America — at NorthPark Center. In this issue, read our Re- Entrée feature — notes about re-entering the fall social season and what we are most excited about. We love the charming neighborhood of Knox-Henderson, which is packed with personality (see pages 17 and 18). And, if you need a little healthy revitalizing from the heat, read "Juice-Off" — and get the skinny on the best juicing in Dallas (page 20). Coming soon, our most stylish month: the September issue, our biggest fashion, style and social coverage of the year. An issue truly not to be missed! Max Trowbridge Dallas Editor in Chief max@papercitymag.com 12 Re-entrée: Your go-to guide for where to be and what to see this fall 14 Parties: Welcoming Brunello Cucinelli at Stanley Korshak, and the HPV store opening fête 10 Parties: Heroes for Children's Heroes and Handbags; Chick Lit Luncheon; Mad Hatter's Tea; Callier Cares Luncheon DANIEL DRIENSKY 20 Food: Where to get your juice on T aking a blank canvas and creating something meaningful can be incredibly rewarding. Every day, people jump into a new career — not knowing a damn thing about what they're doing — and over the years become an expert in their field. Doctors and ditch-diggers alike do it. How about having a baby? Yeah, there are books, but it's a pretty raw and humbling experience, and it sometimes makes you feel like an idiot! Then, you look up one day, and your child is healthy, smart and independent. Kudos to you! I've found that growing businesses has been immensely rewarding. I didn't know what a publisher's role was when I bought into a fledgling publication called The Paper back in 1996. Holly Moore and Becca Cason Thrash had started it a couple years prior, but in 1996, it was basically a thin, quarterly one-man-show. We agreed that I'd take over the business end so that Holly could focus on her talent for creating beautiful content. I self-taught myself ad sales, circulation, marketing and all other things magazine. I personally sold all the ads for my first six months before realizing: Magazines have salespeople — I want one of those! And the road to growth began. Several years ago, I realized that a good publisher should focus almost exclusively on revenue creation. I was too wrapped up in other aspects of the business, so I started to shift more responsibility and created ad department managers. Today, this transition comes full circle. A decade ago, after spending several years in the ad and PR business in New York, Monica Bickers joined us in sales. Her savvy and tenacity brought her great respect among her clients, and she grew to handle all the national fashion and jewelry accounts, in addition to managing other reps. Same for Mary Hoang-Do, who joined us almost a decade ago as an office assistant, then sales assistant, and then grew into a senior sales rep. Mary's recipe for success is something we now teach to all new reps. Today, we announce that Monica Bickers is PaperCity's publisher, and Mary Hoang-Do is our group associate publisher! I'm not going anywhere (sorry, staff) but will simply shift great responsibility to these two. And, as it's also a publisher's duty to fully represent the magazine, Monica will take over writing this monthly letter — unless, of course, I really have something to say … Jim Kastleman President jim@papercitymag.com 17 Knox-Henderson Special Section: Wine, dine and shop A s we close the chapter on summer, it's time to get that fall calendar organized.
