OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. I t was only a matter of time. When a group text message came through last month from Ylang 23 owner Joanne Teichman and daughter Alysa Teichman, the store's VP of business development, the news could not have been bigger. "We are opening a second store in Forth Worth!!" read Alysa's text, to which I excitedly responded, "Your Ylang 23 family is growing! A new baby!" Joanne chimed in: "A big baby! Two hundred more feet than Dallas!" And so, the news broke: The beloved Plaza at Preston Center jewelry boutique, with its careful edit of modern, fashion-forward designers (Irene Neuwirth, Jennifer Meyer, Cathy Waterman), will debut a new location come June in Fort Worth's mixed-use development, The Shops at Clearfork. Ylang 23 will be in good company, with neighbors Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus, Burberry, Tesla, and Tiffany & Co. This is a long time coming for the homegrown jewelry boutique, which was founded as Ylang-Ylang in 1985 by Joanne and husband Charles Teichman at Galleria Dallas and evolved into the Ylang 23 we know today: a depository of precious gems not carried elsewhere in Dallas. The move into Forth Worth seems the shining moment in a series of recent growth spurts for Ylang 23. Since Alysa joined the company in 2016 after completing her MBA at New York University's Stern School of Business, she has brought Ylang 23 pop-up shops to Aspen, New York, Nashville, and Houston. Here's to looking west. Ylang 23, The Plaza at Preston Center, ylang23.com. Christina Geyer YLANG 23 x Two P hoto, Painting, Sculpture: Two Dallas gallerists roll out exhibitions that prefigure their booths at the Dallas Art Fair. Cris Worley Fine Arts presents solos for Kristen Cliburn and Celia Eberle. Houston import Cliburn paints veils of color that become portals for meditation; Eberle's h e r m e t i c s c u l p t u r a l creations mine myth and allude to nature. Moss Grotto, anyone? (Both shows through March 31) … At Erin Cluley Gallery, 19th-century f a u x - p h o t o g r a p h i c landscape backgrounds, often employed by portrait studios, are brought into focus in the works of TWU MFA grad Kalee Appleton (through March 31). L.A. Lady: At the Dallas Museum of Art, American painter Laura Owens gets a 20-year retrospective, which travels to the DMA following its debut at the Whitney. Five massive free-standing canvases, emblazoned with text, exemplify the L.A artist's practice, which subverts notions of abstraction and figuration with a dose of craft, technology, and pop (March 25 – July 29). Catherine D. Anspon ART NOTES I t's the biggest secret that has ever been kept in Forty Five Ten history: Last month, plans were announced for new digs in New York City's massive Hudson Yards development. Set to open in March 2019, the 16,000-square-foot store, designed by NY-based Snarkitecture, will be Forty Five Ten's sixth, following a flurry of store openings including Napa and Houston, which occurred swiftly after the debut of its new downtown Dallas store in 2016. All the pillars of Forty Five Ten will be there: top names in men's and women's ready-to-wear, jewelry, accessories, home decor and beauty. An NYC location is a credit to the success of the brand that first opened 18 years ago as a chic shop for hard-to-find designers, at the hand of fashion-retail gurus Brian Bolke, the late Shelly Musselman and Bill Mackin. Forty Five Ten's rapid growth to global fashion destination is, no doubt, part of a larger vision now led by Headington Companies, which acquired the company in 2014 and has since catapulted it into a boutique department store of sorts. Forty Five Ten's location within Hudson Yards, then, is fitting, as it will neighbor fellow Dallas-based retail giant Neiman Marcus, set to open its first New York location in 2019.
