Following a May launch, husband-and-wife team Jon and MG Stevens opened Foxyco to bring their interpretation of modern-American cuisine to Dallas’s Design District. This is the second restaurant for the pair, who launched Stock & Barrel in the city’s Bishop Arts District four years ago. While the restaurant’s cuisine is focused on a wood-fired grill, the menu includes small bites, pasta and flatbreads. At Foxyco, guests enjoy dishes such as tuna tartare; burrata with orange-blossom harissa and honeycomb; grilled arti- chokes; ricotta dumplings; wagyu short ribs; bavette steak; and Dan Dan noodles, which are served with duroc pork ragu, mushrooms and egg yolk.

ATLANTA Coco + Mischa 675 Ponce de Leon Ave. NE, Ste. W120 No phone www.cocoandmischa.com The market for slow fashion and independent designers has found a new hub in Atlanta. After running pop-up shops, in April, Melissa Gallagher and Christy LeClair opened a perma- nent space for Coco + Mischa at the Ponce City Market. Ponce City Market made a splash when it opened in 2014 in a remodeled, sprawling complex across the street from the historic Fourth Ward Park. Listed in the Register of Historic Places, Ponce City Market’s buildings in the early 20th century housed a Sears, Roebuck & Co. distribution center. Gallagher and LeClair started the boutique because they felt there was no place in Atlanta to buy slow fashion—or indepen- dent, sustainable fashion design- ers who provide an alternative to fast fashion. Coco + Mischa is serious about raising awareness for sus- tainable styles. In July, it pro- duced the Slow Fashion Sympo- sium 2018. Speaking at the event was sustainability star Eliza- beth Cline, who is the author of “Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion.” Producing events at the bou- tique is important. In September, it produced a pop-up shop for Los Angeles designer Tuesday Bassen. The designer makes size-inclusive clothing and silk tour jackets. (Remember the silk coats the Pink Ladies wore in the film “Grease”? Imagine an indie rock version of that.) Independent, sustainable brands offered at the store in- clude Ozma of California, Meg­ an-Ilene, Plante Clothing and Maelu. The boutique also offers vintage clothing and housewares.

Located in Coconut Grove, about 12 miles away from Miami Beach’s South Beach neighbor- hood, The Showroom blends vari- ous categories. The 1,000-square- foot space mixes furniture and home accessories with clothing. The store’s style is inspired by its name. It provides a showroom for Sanchez’s tastes for home and wardrobe. For fashion, the empha- sis is on casual. The Showroom’s intended demographic is women between the ages of 30 and 70. Brands sold at the store include Zadig & Voltaire as well as Los Angeles–headquartered brands Citizens of Humanity, Lauren Moshi and MadeWorn. The Fair- fax District–based MadeWorn is known for its high-end interpreta- tions of T-shirts from classic rock bands. The boutique, located in a pedestrian-friendly neighbor- hood known for its cafés, is in a neighborhood that includes the high-end consignment store Fash- ionista and The Griffin, a luxe footwear and handbag boutique. Coconut Grove is known as one of Miami’s oldest neighbor- hoods, which traces its history to the early 19th century. Since then, it has become a hub of the Baha- mian-American community and hosts the annual Goombay Festi- val, which celebrates cuisine and music from the Bahamas. Sanchez said The Showroom will remain exclusive to Coconut Grove. “The plan is to continue to expand the collections we sell and constantly keep filling up the store with unique pieces,” she said. “I don’t plan on opening a
