Next on the horizon is a trip to Dallas on Thursday, November 10, as guest of honor for ReuNight, the quick-to-sell- out annual dinner party benefi tting The Family Place. The event's fashion bent stems from its retail-savvy chairs, Shelle and Michael Sills and Brian Bolke and Faisal Halum. (Shelle is director of retail for Headington Companies; Bolke, bien sûr, proprietor of Forty Five Ten.) Plan accordingly: Cocktail hour is at the newly minted Forty Five Ten downtown, with al fresco dinner and dancing a hop across Main Street on The Joule's Terrace.

Jane Rozelle Here Comes DONNA L uxury German luggage label R i m o w a 's a l u m i n u m a n d lightweight polycarbonate cases with grooved shells were designed in 1950 and have been a symbol of jet- set travel ever since. The brand is all in the family — Paul Morszeck founded Rimowa in 1898 and passed the torch to son Richard, and now grandson Dieter. In time for holiday travel, Rimowa opens its fi rst Texas boutique in NorthPark Center later this month, where we will covet the striking luggage in green with leather-covered corners, contrasting decorative stitching, and padded lining (from $695). Rimowa, NorthPark Center, 1st fl oor between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, no phone number at press time, rimowa.com. Linden Wilson WHEELS UP Topas Cabin Multiwheel, $980 Bossa Nova Multiwheel, $1,225 F or more than a decade, Josh Madans has been at the epicenter of some of the city's best-known entrepreneurial endeavors. He was an exec for Todd Events (the event-planning and design firm helmed by the singular Todd Fiscus) and a partner of Rest + Revolution Public Relations, which he launched with fellow PR guru Suzanne Droese. But late last year, Madans went solo. New plans were on the horizon. As a result, two design projects launched this fall, aimed at the well-dressed man. WTF. SUP. Emoji wearing sun- glasses. No, this is not your iMessage inbox, but the quirky monograms that dot the collection of pocket squares for Halo Homme by Josh Madans, the gentleman's complement to the Halo Home collection of monogrammed home linens by Kimberly Schlegel Whitman. Halo Homme takes size into consider- ation — standard pocket squares rarely fit into smaller jacket pockets; Halo Homme squares do — and the designs pack wit, with a wealth of emojis and clever acronyms. When your monogram is NMP, and you explain that it stands for Not My Problem … well, that's an icebreaker. Madans' second project is Billy Baker Co., a masculine collection of neck and wrist ropes, strung with beaded gemstones sourced over the world and handmade in Dallas. Designed by Ma- dans, they combine the coolness of an Abbot Kinney hipster with something a mogul might sport in Aspen. Halo Homme by Josh Madans pocket squares $50, at halohomme.com; Billy Baker Co. bracelets from $50, necklaces from $75, at billybakerco.com.
