Tootsies and Posh Hotel Host a VIP Viewing of Design House's Latest Collection

TOOTSIES CREATIVE DIRECTOR Fady Armanious showed up to the Post Oak Hotel in a long, sheer, billowy, floral-bedecked coat — and sold it right off his back!


Armanious was, seemingly, both modeling and hosting an exclusive trunk show featuring Oscar de la Renta's 2023 Resort and Spring collection, held on an upper floor of the posh hotel. Stylish Houstonians sipped and shopped the romantic designs, many worn by models. Tootsies senior buyer Penne Weidig, owner Donna Lewis and manager Shelley Ludwick mingled with the VIP attendees.

Ron Nagle's 'The Puddle of Love,' part of 'Love Languages'

AS IF YOU needed another reason to visit the still-new galleries in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s awesome Nancy and Rich Kinder Building: On Saturday, Sept. 2, visitors will be treated to three brand new shows: Contested Landscapes, Hidden Histories, and Love Languages, with paintings, sculptures and wildly imaginative mixed-media creations pulled entirely from the MFAH’s extensive modern and contemporary collections, including works by Houston- and Texas-born artists. Each exhibit is organized by a different MFAH curator, and each addresses, to varying degrees of clarity and opacity, a range of environmental, social and political themes.
