Where to go ? What to pack? Where to stay ? Dallas


Versace SS2018   Tribute  to Gianni Versace’s most iconic collections

The    first   things  that  come  up  to   our    mind   when   thinking  of   Dallas  Texas   is   the Ewings   family  from  the   famous  80   Tv Soap Opera . At  the  time   of   J.R  and   family the city had not become the cosmopolitan, metropolitan place it is now – there is the East Coast and West Coast, and Dallas is now referred to as the "Third Coast". It was full of Texans. You walked down the streets and there were more cowboy hats than you could imagine – and people really did wear cowboy boots with their suits."
Most of the oil companies have long gone, moving out in the late Eighties and early Nineties. Dallas, feels like a mini-New York,
 That's not to say there isn't plenty to sate the appetites of a diehard Dallas fan like me, but for genuine cowboy culture you have to venture slightly farther out to the suburbs or nearby Fort Worth, where on some streets it can still feel as though you've wandered on to the set of a western.






What to pack ?
Western-style denim, dark and dressy, has been back on the style radar since it walked down  Raf  Simon's first Calvin Klein catwalk, just over a year ago. 
Then Dior   Resort   18   collection   but  also  the  cowboy  boots seen   at  Louis  Vuitton  made  us   fell   in  Love   with   western   look   and    our   passion   continue   throw  this  summer 18 . We   feel   Stetsons   hat  by  Dior   or   Maison  Michel is  something   we  cannot  live  without  !!  Same as    cowboy boots ,  which  make   even  a    flower   dress    cool .   Belt   is  essetinal  to  get  the     Western    look , Gucci is   one  of   our  favourite   hot  Spot  for  belts, with   GG  7 cm high   belt   be   “WANTED”  (  you  need  to  become  friend   with   people  in  Gucci  store   to  be  shown  it  )   .  Denim  western  cut   shirt   is  also one of the  key  pieces    for  western  style    wardrobe   we  fell   for  the  Saint  Laurent.

Where  to  stay ? 
Rosewood Mansion  at  Turtle   Creek
When Linda Gray and  Larry Hagman filmed Dallas  original series , they stayed at The Mansion on Turtle Creek – close to where the former president George W Bush and his wife, Laura, now live. Built to resemble an Italian palazzo, the mansion is one of a chain of luxury hotels owned by Caroline Rose Hunt, a close friend of Gray's, whose mega-monied oil family is rumoured to have been the inspiration for the Ewings.
