Oscar de La Renta and Carolina Herrera are two different people. Carolina Herrera did open in Houston before Dallas because of Houstons international appeal (she said it herself) .. the CH in Houston did soo good that it opened in Dallas. Don't be surprised if Houston gets a Carolina Herrera too. Oscar de La Renta attends parties and events in Houston, so don't count Houston out. There's BLVD Place that's still under construction and a couple of soon to be vacant spots in The Galleria's "luxury corridor".
I doubt that they will open at BLVD Place.
Don't get me wrong I think it looks really nice and intresting.
But if they do open which I rarely think they would.
Dallas has a bigger trade area, but Houston is a huge shopping destination for rich people flying in from Mexico and Central America (This was the reason why Carolina Herrera opened up in Houston before Dallas). Houston could attract more upscale shopping if it wanted to, but Houston has never been aggressive when it comes to drawing in businesses. Also, what lots of people don't know is Houston has the upper hand when it comes to fashion designers (some who have a national following).
In all, Dallas biggest draw is more regional; while Houston's draw is more international.
So basically the only way Houston can support it stores in thru international. So without Its internationalism thoughs stores would be able to survive?

Stop using the excuse that dallas has a larget trade area.
The reason Dallas has more upscale shopping is because Dallas has always been a fashion oriented city.
From being home to Neiman Marcus to the famous Kim Dawson Modeling Agencty to the Dallas Market center to Northpark Center.
They have all attracted many high end designers.
That is why Dallas does so much better than Houston in the fashion section.

Of course that is the only reason why is able to support the stores.
Just like Fifth Avenue in New York is supported mainly throught international people.

The point is There not in that market right now so the shoulda coulda wouldas need to be left out... Just like you said before you cant claim things that havent been built or thats not opened.... All kinda deisgners attend fashion events across america There in Miami Atlanta LA Chicago. Because they there doing parties dont mean that There going to open a boutique... and if Carolina Herrera wanted to be in the Houston market she would have put it there instead of the CH herrera store...

How is the larger trade area an excuse? It's the reason why there are so many more malls in Dallas than the Houston area. Dallas pulls from a larger regional population than Houston does.

Houston and Dallas have about the same metopoliltan numbers.
Dallas is number 4 in latgest metroplitan areas
with Houston coming at 6.
Dallas only wins by one million and more.
and not everyone can affort high-end clothing and items.
Just like Houston is more international, then yall should be getting the high end boutiques and not Dallas.
Just like I said Dallas is more fashion oriented from store to modeling.

Housont is not and that is that.
Go look up what a trade area is, because it is definitely more than just a metropolitan area. I'll just say this, Houston's trade area is sandwiched in by Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and the Gulf, while Dallas extends well out onto the plain states, Arkansas, and west Texas.
By the way, DFW is ahead of Metro Houston by about 580K, not one million.
