DRESSED IN A RELAXED LINEN oxford and a pair of tangerine Venetian Stubbs & Wootton smoking slippers, Javier Burkle is the picture of springtime chic. The 33-year-old designer, who grew up in Mexico City and moved to Dallas with his family as a university student, dons this dapper combo for just about any task. “I was just doing some planting,” Burkle confesses, pouring Champagne into cut-crystal goblets under a tasseled umbrella in his backyard. The consummate host, he often sets one long table for 30-person dinners—even though the home he shares with his partner, real estate agent Mason McCleskey, clocks in at just 2,000 square feet.
