Sloan/Hall

This River Oaks staple from owners Marcus Sloan and Shannon Hall has the spare, white look of an art gallery—fitting, since most of the wares are on the level of wearable art. Cutting-edge labels like Peter Pilotto, Isabel Marant, Maison Martin Margiela, Kenzo, and Christopher Kane dominate, complemented by a mixture of edgy jewelry, design books, and apothecary offerings such as the Houston-based Drunk Elephant skincare line.
