    DISTRICT DELIGHTS

    2 Italian luxury brands make Houston debuts at River Oaks District

    Luxury retail and dining destination River Oaks District just announced that two Italian men's clothing stores will open this summer. Stefano Ricci and Brioni will be the latest additions to the more than forty high-end retail brands in the shopping complex.

    Known for its fine Italian craftsmanship, Stefano Ricci will open its first Texas outpost next to Cartier in the coming weeks. What began as a silk tie emporium over 50 years ago has expanded into menswear, accessories, shoes, fragrances, home collection, and interior design. Customers can expect to find fine-tailored clothing, soft cashmere, and shoes made from Italian leather, embodying the essence of old-world Italy with a modern twist.

    Recognized as one of the world's leaders in menswear couture, Brioni will make its mark in Houston with its first store next to Van Cleef & Arpels. The menswear brand will offer ready-to-wear pieces, leather goods, shoes, eyewear, and fragrances. Brioni is synonymous with exquisite tailoring—more than 220 steps go into each custom-made suit. The Houston boutique will offer tailor-made services, with appointments available now by emailing anthony.balbuena@brioni.com.

    In addition to luxury menswear, River Oaks District shoppers will find two revamped stores. Alice + Olivia recently reopened after undergoing a store refresh. Customers will find fresh new digs and a bevy of the brand's latest merchandise, including ready-to-wear, gowns, shoes, handbags, accessories, and eyewear.

    Vince also reopened after moving to a new space across from Etro. Known for its full range of luxury products, the new boutique will feature women's and men's ready-to-wear clothing, shoes, handbags, and home decor.

    The two new stores are the latest changes to the luxury mixed-use development since it was purchased by Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta for $450 million.

    Houston spa is first in Texas to offer award-winning Italian wellness treatment

    Now available through August 31, this non-invasive treatment brings Italian wellness innovation exclusively to Trellis Spa at The Houstonian.

    This summer, Trellis Spa at The Houstonian is adding a touch of Italian flair to its treatment menu, and it comes with a beauty seal of approval. From July 1 through August 31, spa-goers can book Endospheres Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that's made its way from Italy to Houston, and just in time for pool season.

    Trellis is the only luxury spa in Texas offering this treatment, which has already earned a spot on Elle's 2025 Best Tools & Treatments Awards as the Best Lymphatic Drainage Treatment for the Body. Beauty editors aren't the only ones paying attention. Endospheres has also been featured in Cosmopolitan and Bella Magazine for its ability to smooth, lift, and contour without any downtime.

    "We're always looking to bring our guests the most innovative, effective treatments available," says Trellis Spa director Kelleye Martin. "Endospheres Therapy complements our existing offerings by delivering visible results through a therapeutic, non-invasive approach. We're proud to be the exclusive Texas spa destination for this technology during the summer."

    So, what should spa aficionados expect? Endospheres utilizes a roller device featuring 55 rotating spheres in a honeycomb pattern, which sends rhythmic micro-vibrations throughout the body. The goal is to stimulate circulation, support lymphatic drainage, ease muscle tension, and improve skin texture. The treatment is non-invasive and feels like a gentle massage. Over a series of six to 12 sessions, the treatment will become increasingly focused. Depending on each client's specific needs, the spa therapist can target certain areas, such as the stomach, legs, and arms, for even more dramatic results.

    According to Endospheres master trainer Martina Vallescura, Trellis was a natural fit for the Texas debut. "Trellis attracts guests who prioritize both aesthetic results and overall well-being," she says. Vallescura also notes that Endospheres is an excellent option for both aesthetic benefits, such as cellulite reduction and skin firming, as well as therapeutic relief for issues like muscle soreness, lymphedema, and lipedema.

    Trellis Spa is offering three ways to try Endospheres, with options that include face-only, body-only, or a combination treatment that covers both. Visible results can sometimes be seen after a single session, but the full effect is typically achieved after a series of 6 to 12 treatments spaced over several weeks. There is no downtime associated with the treatment; however, hydration is crucial, so be sure to drink plenty of water and skip the lotion and snack at least an hour before an appointment.
