Three decades later, the news is, "Houston, style with an unconventional edge has arrived," echoes at the city's shopping district.

Mix, Houston’s foremost fashion forward store brings to the city the hottest designer talents for Fall 2002.

At mix, Houstonians discover a one-of-a-kind retail experience and the most exclusive in fashion.

The store, which has recently expanded to house an even more diverse merchandise mix, has a chic, minimal aesthetic conceived by Harvard-trained architect Albert Marichal.

The new space at 2818 Kirby Drive has proved to be a tremendous success with an expanding customer base and press recognition throughout the U.S.

Mix owner Evelyn Gorman has created a fashion haven stocked with international designers, most of them sold exclusively at mix for the Houston area.

For the Fall/Winter 2002 season, Gorman has added high profile lines Chloe, Lambertson Truex, Azzedine Alaia, Stephen Burows and Narciso Rodriguez.

Gorman has also sought out newcomers on the fashion scene, including CFDA award-winner Rick Owens and Jiwon Park.

Creations from turn of the century yarns by Julia of London arrive for fall.

For the upcoming season, Gorman will create a new shoe salon to house shoes by Diana Broussard.

Customers can also find the perfect accessory with one-of-a-kind Sage jewelry, stunning adornments by jewelry designer Pippa Small, the perfect specialty bags from Ursule Beaugeste and Lorenza Gandaglia, and chic sunglasses by Selima Optique.

Mix will continue to carry exclusive collections Balenciaga, Helmut Lang, Comme des Garcons SHIRT and Comme Comme collections, Mayle, Scanlan & Theodore, Alvin Valley, Megan Park, Imitation of Christ, and Fashion Active Lab among others.

At mix, Evelyn Gorman has created an innovative retail space where customers can experience exceptional fashion.
