BLANK CANVAS
2646 MAIN STREET DALLAS, TX

Blank Canvas, a loft-like store featuring avant-garde designer labels for men and women, landed last week in downtown’s gritty Deep Ellum district. Many are emerging British brands, such as Art Comes First, Le Kilt, J JS Lee and Maria Black. More established vendors include Comme des Garçons, Phoebe English, Armando Cabral, Casely-Hayford and Jacqueline Rabun Fine Jewellery. Very few of them are sold elsewhere in Dallas. “I said, ‘I think we should come to a place where they don’t have this stuff,’” said Ladislas Mande, who created the enterprise with Fode Sylla.
“I came to understand the city,” said Sylla, who has curated spaces for Dover Street Market. “Just walking around there was such an energy.”
The 2,500-square-foot boutique was only partially stocked at the unboxing party, but Blank Canvas will carry all the labels that Sylla represents at the Touba London and Touba Paris showrooms he operates with his wife, Yuko Fujita.
