CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN TO OPEN IN HIGHLAND PARK VILLAGE 

DALLAS, TX – March 2010 – Whether they prefer pumps, slingbacks, boots, flats or all of the above, one thing fashion conscious women have in common is their sole desire for Louboutins.  This fall Highland Park Village will add the red hot designer to its collection of international tenants, continuing the legacy of providing the best shopping in North Texas for which the center is known.

The Louboutin boutique will be located around the corner from Patrizio, in space #27, taking over 1300 square feet formerly occupied by Banana Republic.  This will be the seventh Louboutin boutique in the United States, and the first in Texas.  “Bringing such a dynamic designer to Highland Park Village is extremely exciting for us,” says Stephen Summers, Partner and Director of Leasing for the center.  “Our focus is to provide our clientle with cutting edge and classic, iconic brands…words that are synonymous with Christian Louboutin.”
