Texas Ballet Theater to Launch New Stanley Korshak Partnership for Fall Events
Events include the TUTU CHIC FASHION SHOW & LUNCHEON and SUGAR PLUM FAIRY TEA across Dallas and Fort Worth.
Texas Ballet Theater (TBT) will celebrate its 2026/2027 Season with the return of two of Dallas' signature events this December: Tutu Chic Fashion Show & Luncheon on December 1, 2026 and Sugar Plum Fairy Tea on December 19, 2026.
This season also debuts a new partnership with luxury retailer Stanley Korshak. This partnership represents a natural alignment between two iconic Dallas institutions that value artistry, sophistication, and elevated experiences. Stanley Korshak's longstanding reputation in luxury fashion, paired with Texas Ballet Theater's commitment to artistic excellence, creates a seamless blend of style and performance that celebrates creativity at its finest. “Stanley Korshak is honored to return as the ‘Fashion Partner' for the Texas Ballet Theater's annual Tutu Chic and Caren Koslow fashion events this December. These fashion presentations celebrate the artistry, elegance, and cultural impact of ballet in our community. Mitchell Stores is thrilled to be a part of these events that bring together fashion, philanthropy, and the performing arts.” – Stanley Korshak Chief Customer and Experience Officer, Chuck Steelman

Tutu Chic Fashion Show & Luncheon is Dallas' most stylish holiday tradition, where TBT's professional dancers transform the Winspear Opera House stage into a couture runway, modeling luxe looks curated by Stanley Korshak in an immersive, theatrical fashion presentation.
