Moncler
People are thrilled about this French-Italian brand’s debut at the River Oaks District. Even if there’s not much of an opportunity to wear Moncler’s trademark down coats in Houston, the shop will be stocked with plenty of active and sportswear that can be regularly worn in town. (Or you could just buy the coat and book that weekend ski getaway you’ve been putting off for too long.)
Tom Ford

Specializing in modern and slightly retro clothing, handbags, shoes and eyewear, this store is the epitome of a luxury one-stop-shop.
