Anne Lee Phillips Submit your Houston PaperCity Design Awards entries by Thursday, March 10, at papercitymag.com/designawards. A s our announcement ad says, it was bound to happen. After 22 years, PaperCity Houston and Dallas will be perfect bound, beginning with the September issue. When I began PaperCity all those years ago, W magazine had recently transitioned from a large format, as PaperCity is doing now, into perfect bound. W magazine came out twice a month and was filled with a wonderful cocktail party of people, social, fashion, art and design. I mourned the loss of this oversized lively mix and patterned PaperCity after it. As a few of you may remember, the name for the first few years was The Paper, but the moniker was not able to be copyrighted, so we transitioned into PaperCity. In this new bound iteration, the paper stock was of utmost concern, and with the help of our magnanimous and patient printer, Trend Offset, we have secured a perfectly lovely heavy paper for the cover and a substantial interior paper that feel modern and luxurious. Next step was to inform national and local advertisers. Publisher Monica Bickers, style editor Francine Ballard and I flew to New York to meet with current advertisers — Hermès, Cartier, Chanel, Tom Ford, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana and many more — to present the mock-up and begin the long negotiations over ad placement, the joy (that they are running ads) and the bane (who is before whom in the magazine) of all publishers. Each and every fashion and jewelry house we met with was thrilled about the change and secured double-page ad spreads for the September launch issue. We hope you will also be thrilled with the new physical format, as well as the increased number of pages in each issue for more design, art, fashion, social, food and travel. Until then, I'll savor the end of an era and reflect on the many ways for which the broadsheet pages of PaperCity will no longer be useful: gift wrapping, table coverings, art installation, dress making, wallpaper — all imaginative applications by our readers.

In her ninth and newest book (and her favorite so far, she says), Charlotte Moss: Garden Inspiration (Rizzoli, $50), the designer tours us through her own gardens, where she applies her design prowess as surely as she does in the many homes she has decorated. Relaxing nooks, color and richness, light and vistas, and placement of sculpture and objects are all part of the landscape. Moss will be in Houston for a talk and visual presentation from the pages of her books Thursday, March 10, 6 pm cocktails, 7 pm talk and book signing, at Canopy, 3939 Montrose. The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) brings her to town. ICAA members $15, nonmembers $20, payable at door or online; RSVP classicist-texas.org, under Houston events.
