Fash Bash at River Oaks District Toasts Glam New Boutique's Arrival

Megan Cushing, Angela Daniels, Laura Zehl and Melissa Strong

YET ANOTHER FABULOUS boutique has bowed at River Oaks District, and some of the city's most stylish gal pals hosted a fash bash to celebrate.


Australian fashion house Zimmermann threw open the doors to its second Texas boutique and first in Houston. Melissa Strong, Megan Cushing, Angela Daniels and Laura Zehl invited friends to toast the occasion and shop Zimmermann's Fall 2022 "Stargazer" collection; a portion of sales from the evening was donated to Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Family Alliance.

Known for its flowing, feminine frocks and understated glamour, Zimmermann naturally applied the same aesthetic to its new boutique, which is light and bright and filled with art by Australian makers like Bridie Gilman — and plenty of pops of green, one of the brand's signature colors.

A detail of one of Conley's new metal sculptures

IT’S BEEN A while (2017 to be exact) since we featured Houston metal sculptor Tara Conley in our inaugural A Day in the Life of the Arts photo essay. That image of Conley in her Montrose studio, dressed in jeans, a long-sleeve flannel shirt, and a welders mask, holding a blow torch and staring down the camera while crouched behind one of her elegant steel sculptures, certainly conveyed the “work” that goes into being a “working artist.”
