We have a rule that it has to be a place we would like to travel to, and for sure Dallas has it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAsked what she feels will be bestsellers in Dallas, Hearst said, \u201cThe taste level in Dallas is very high, how the female client \u2014 and the clients in general \u2014 are dressing is very chic, elegant, and unique to many parts. I think that pointing out one thing will be difficult because I think everything is going to perform.\u00a0 Right now, we already started selling from the beginning of the day our one-of-a-kind pieces, the elevated leather and craftsmanship and more of the demi-couture pieces.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tOn the topic of whether they design the space specifically for the Texas market, the designer explained, \u201cWe do everything reclaimed, so first we had to use all the furniture that we have in our inventory. We have to make it work with what we have, so this was the first challenge or premise. We made it local by curating the art in the gallery space,\u00a0selecting only\u00a0artworks by female artists, including Louise Bourgeois, Luchita Hurtado, Dorothea Tanning, as well as photographs by Texas-based photographer Constance Jaeggi whose work captures women practicing escaramuza, a traditional all-female equestrian sport from Mexico, in several parts of the U.S. \u2014 including Texas.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe product we brought was extremely curated from Brian\u2019s feedback, so everything was a labor of love that we did really fast,\u201d said Hearst. <\/p>\n \n\tDiscussing previous installations, Bolke said that in September 2024, \u201cwe did a similar residency with FoundRae in our previous ground floor small store that is now a permanent storefront (FoundRae in Residence at The Conservatory), and we did a 500-square-foot Bottega Veneta in Residence upstairs in fall 2024 as well, as an introduction to the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gabriela Hearst opened an exclusive installation hosted by The Conservatory at Highland Park Village in Dallas Friday. The new immersive 3,000-square-foot-space, located on the ground floor of The Conservatory\u2019s Dallas flagship location, showcases Hearst\u2019s latest collections, reflecting the house\u2019s singular vision centered around craftsmanship, sustainability and long-term view, as well as a curation of women artists. It will stay open through the end of May. The exterior of the Gabriela Hearst installation.
