Spunky and fresh faced, native Houstonian and Page Parkes model Charlotte Stevens may just be fashion’s next It Girl. After graduating from Stratford High in 2015, Stevens struck poses across Texas — including for CityBook’s inaugural issue in 2016 — before spending stints in Paris and Milan. The now New York-based model’s star rose even higher this year, when she appeared in Gucci’s print campaigns and in Fashion Weeks worldwide. And while agents at Page Parkes are somewhat tight-lipped, word is that in 2019, Stevens has even bigger projects afoot.

A moment from 'The House,' choreographed by Nao Kusuzaki

WALKING THE GROUNDS of the Heights Ironworks is like stepping back in time, making it the ideal location for choreographer and former Houston Ballet soloist Nao Kusuzaki’s immersive dance performance, The House. Created for Houston Contemporary Dance Company and running Feb. 8-10 (5pm, 7pm and 9pm), The House explores the groundbreaking accomplishments of Barbara Jordan, the first African American elected to the Texas Senate after Reconstruction, and Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird. Although Jordan and Lee’s paths never crossed, Kusuzaki imagines them as guests at the Yale House, a five-room historic landmark built in 1903.
