The Style of Life

Our latest episode is all about style, taking chances and the power of betting on yourself.

Crawford Brock is the epitome of excellence, perseverance and teamwork. The world may currently be in the midst of a pandemic, but you wouldn't know by observing the flurry of activity at Dallas' infamous retail destination, Stanley Korshak.

But achieving when others least expect it isn't a new concept for Crawford(who became the official owner of Stanley Korshak in 2002); he's built his incredible career on it.

Brock's philosophy of excellence evolved from the late Stanley Marcus, the retail oracle who transformed Neiman Marcus from an obscure Dallas gem into an international fashion nameplate. Marcus personally schooled Brock for eight years, emphasizing customer service, obtaining the best merchandise, keeping up with the lifestyles of clients, and maintaining close relationships with vendors.

In case you were wondering, back in the day, there was a real Stanley Korshak who founded his namesake luxury goods store in Chicago in 1909. The Chicago store closed in the early Eighties, and Dallas oil heiress Caroline Rose Hunt bought the rights to the name. She opened Stanley Korshak as a designer clothing store in the courtyard of shops at the Crescent Hotel in Dallas in 1986. Hunt hired Brock to manage it in 1987, and he has shepherded it since.
