The CultureMap Interview

Famed designer spills his holiday secrets: Animal prints — and red lips — are grr-eat

Clifford Pugh
Dec 11, 2013 | 2:04 pm

French designer Roland Mouret has been a busy man since he visited Houston about this time last year. In addition to his namesake collection, he has developed new bridal and cocktail lines, launched handbag and sunglass collections, and is the midst of researching plans to open his first New York store. It's no wonder he's looking forward to the holidays, where he plans to spend a week with his family in the French Pyrenees and do practically nothing.

Famed designer spills his holiday secrets: Animal prints — and red lips — are grr-eat

"I still believe in color therapy. I think color brings really something happy in our life."

"It's quite amazing to have the brand growing," said Moret, who was in town to present his collection at the Child Advocates luncheon. "There is so much stuff out there that you think, 'What is the purpose?'

"But if you realize what you can bring that they don't have and the service you bring with it, it's really exciting to still understand why you are doing this job. And that is what's really exciting to me."

During a break in preparations at Neiman Marcus, Mouret sat down with CultureMap to talk holiday fashion and travel plans, along with trends he really likes and those he can do without.

CultureMap: How should a woman dress for the holidays?

Roland Mouret: For me this year, it's animal print. I am a big fan of how to mix them and to wear them. And I'm quite for red lips. Not too much makeup, but red lips is quite fantastic.

CM: So animal prints at a Christmas party is good?

RM: Quite. I like when animal prints are colorful. In my winter show, I showed a mix of green, red, and black and white animal print. It's got this kind of Catherine Deneuve attitude which I love.

CM: People don't think of wearing animal prints to a big holiday party.

RM: If not, go for the brightest color you can find. I still believe in color therapy. I think color brings really something happy in our life. We fall in love with colors like we fall in love with people.

CM: Women love color in Texas.

RM: I learn so much from the customer. I know no matter what fashion dictates, there are still so many colors that are amazing. I think that colors are the black of our time. We had the same period with black in the '80s. I think color now is something where when you try one color in your life and you love it, you have no problem to try any kind of color.

CM: Is there a particular color you like right now?

RM: I'm really well recognized for greens. I'm a big fan of blues and red at the moment. And pink is the next thing I like.

CM:How are you going to celebrate the holidays?

RM: I am really excited because I am going back to my family in the Pyrenees; seven days with my mom. And we're going to stay at home in our cottage on New Year's Eve with no plan except friends coming to have long sessions of drinks and parties and nibbling, something more relaxed, with fire log and a walk on the beach, 20 minutes away. It's going to be really relaxed because January is going to be so busy, with the pre-collection in New York and preparing for the (fall 2014) runway show in February (in Paris). You have to really pamper yourself during the holidays.

CM: What is biggest trend that you like right now?

RM: There is an amazing move of color for next spring and summer. If you look at Celine and Prada, the clash of colors was amazing. I am excited about the new prints, which are less computerized and more textural and handmade, like painted. And I like that little subtle touch of the '80s in fashion, because I think it gives you a sense of humor. The kids love the '80s and if you were 20 in the '80s, it's a still a period you can play with, in accessories, and it's fun.

CM: What trend don't you like?

RM: I don't think of the things I don't like because women, by themselves, if it doesn't fit them, they don't buy it. There are trends that people try to push. At the end, women make it right or wrong. A woman doesn't like boxy clothes, she doesn't like to look bigger. They don't need me to decide what trends should work or doesn't work.

Global favorite dim sum restaurant opens in Katy with freshly made dumplings and signature BBQ buns

Tim Ho Wan has opened in Katy.

One of the world’s most acclaimed dim sum restaurants has opened in Katy. Tim Ho Wan is now serving bbq pork buns, shu mai, and more.

Known for its freshly prepared dim sum specialties, Tim Ho Wan’s reputation stems from a Hong Kong location that held a Michelin star from 2010 through 2021, making it one of the least expensive restaurants in the world to be recognized by the famous dining guide. Currently, the Hong Kong restaurant has Bib Gourmand status, which indicates that it serves quality food at affordable prices. Locally, diners can expect to pay between $6 and $10 for most of the restaurant’s dishes.

That combination of quality and affordability has led to considerable acclaim. When it expanded to New York in 2016, diners waited hours in line for a table. Since then, the restaurant has opened a second location in New York as well as in Hawaii; Las Vegas; and Irvine, California. With only 120 indoor seats at the Katy location, Houstonians might experience a similar wait.

Yu “Joe” Koyama, principal of Tim Ho Wan USA, tells CultureMap that the restaurant has a different approach than other dim sum establishments. Everything is made fresh daily and cooked to order, which ensures customers receive hot, fresh dumplings every time. He cites the signature BBQ pork bun as one example of what makes Tim Ho Wan stand out.

“The way we prepare them is different from the one you typically see at other dim sum joints,” he says. “They steam them, but ours are baked. We have the crunchy crust on the outside. It has a little sweet and savory flavor. Compared to regular steamed pork buns, it’s a totally different item.”

Founding chef Mak Kwai Pui has been in Houston to help train the staff ahead of the opening, while head chef Paul Li brings 35 years of experience to Tim Ho Wan, according to a release. The restaurant officially opened at approximately 1:30 pm on Monday, November 7, a day and time chosen in line with the principles of feng shui.

Located in NewQuest Properties’ Katy Grand development, Tim Ho Wan joins other international brands such as Japanese bookstore Kinokuniya, Kura Revolving Sushi, Taiwanese restaurant 85°C Bakery & Café, and HaiDiLao, which was dubbed “the Ferrari of hot pot restaurants” by the late, award-winning food critic Jonathan Gold. In December, the development will add PopStroke, a mini golf concept with courses designed by legendary golfer Tiger Woods.

“The city’s growth has and continues to be the strong attraction for noteworthy tenants like Tim Ho Wan and PopStroke,” NewQuest development partner Heather Nguyen said. “It’s an exciting time at Katy Grand.”

TKTK Tokyo Night Festival

For Houston Astros fans, this weekend offers a chance to get up close and personal with three star players, and also with the World Series trophy at a popular golf tournament.

Fans of Japan can celebrate the nation that dominates pop culture at a two-day festival featuring music, food, cars, anime, and even sumo wrestling. And the biggest traveling inflatable attraction in the world brings more bounce for the ounce to town.

Enjoy; here are your best bets for the weekend.

This parade is open to the public, and all are welcomed along the parade route. 10 am.

Now in its second year, the two-day festival will support Japanese communities to represent Japanese food and culture.

This touring exhibition presents an ensemble of 60 masterpieces highlighting Alberto Giacometti’s major achievements of the postwar years (1945-66), exploring the artist’s creative process and how he came to produce his iconic figures. Giacometti (1901-1966) reasserted the validity of the figure and figural representation at a time when abstract art had grown dominant in the international art world. It unfolds in 12 thematic sections that illuminate Giacometti’s focus on the human form and the development of his signature style. Through Sunday, February 12, 2023. 12:30 pm.
