Fashion Guru Keenan Walker Shares Her Dallas Favs and Summer Musts

For dewy skin, Walker swears by “loads of The Ordinary’s Rose Hip Seed Oil and 111Skin’s Sub-Zero De-Puffing Eye Mask.”

Houston-born Keenan Walker has the career clout most fashion girls dream of attaining. After moving to New York City at age 19, she helped open Alexander Wang’s flagship store in Soho, spent a summer styling musicians in Stockholm, Sweden, and worked as a costume designer at Warner Bros. Studio in Los Angeles before returning to Texas to join the buying team at Forty Five Ten. Now head of fashion at MARKET Highland Park Village (markethighlandpark.com), Walker can be spotted drifting around the Village in her latest buys from Paris Fashion Week for the Elisa Summers-owned boutique. Here, she shares her current essentials and summer favorites.
