T he first event of the year I attended was truly an elegant affair: the black-tie Silver Supper benefitting the Dallas Museum of Art Decorative Arts Program, hosted by the lovely Lela Rose and Carrie Becker. This simply exquisite affair was the perfect introduction to 2015, the DMA aglow with supporters basking in the historical delight of 18th- and 19th- century decorative silverware as the table centerpiece.

NorthPark Center just got sexier. British luxury lingerie import Agent Provocateur, whose flagship boutique holds court on Madison Avenue, opens its first Texas location February 9, nestled in a 1,878-square-foot boudoir-inspired space on the first floor between Coach and Elie Tahari. The boundary-pushing brand was co-founded in 1994 by Serena Rees and Joe Corré. The latter has a rock 'n' roll pedigree: He's the son of Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and renowned British designer Dame Vivienne Westwood, both known for creating the punk era. Inside the store, plush gray and black lace carpets give way to pink and black displays showcasing the brand's collections, with decor channeling the 1970s for a bold, playful touch. The sales staff, well versed in the craftsmanship and tailoring synonymous with Agent Provocateur, wear bright pink housecoats designed by Westwood. Just in time for Valentine's Day, shop classic undergarments, bridal, swim, hosiery and accessories crafted from luxe European fabrics, Leavers and French Chantilly lace and Chinese silk. Most definitely cheeky. NorthPark Center, no phone number at press time, agentprovocateur.com. Linden Wilson Secret TICKLED PINK Dallas holds a special place in Elaine Turner's heart: Before opening her flagship store in her hometown of Houston, the designer worked her first fashion job in Dallas. Coming full circle, she has now opened her ninth boutique (on the heels of her Southlake Town Square opening last October) at The Shops of Legacy in Plano. Behind the glossy pink doors, you'll find Turner's eponymous collection of handbags, shoes, apparel, jewelry and accessories. We love the bamboo floors, cowhide rugs and raffia-wrapped walls, plus the custom jewelry vignette with chic vanity. Philanthropic efforts are always at the forefront of this designer's mind, so look for her Plano boutique to host a plethora of fun cocktail soirées and fund-raisers in the near future. 5700 Legacy Dr., Plano, 972.608.9989, elaineturner.com.
