RUNWAY/OURWAY

Don't wimp out and leave the runway looks to the pros. It's all at your fingertips. Let's take this SS12 Alexander Wang look and make it ours with the Factory Stretch Crepe Shift Dress, Factory Stretch Crepe and Chiffon Top, and Miista Ori Shoes. Just do it!

CONNECTING the DOTS: TAUBA AUERBACH

Tauba Auerbach's exploration of language through contemporary technologies is reflected in her pixelated prints and gradated color palette. Her fascination with craft lies within her process of combining old and new technologies to create tantalizing images. We here at IDLM couldn't resist drawing connections between Auerbach's prints and pieces from the shop - see if you can guess which is which.
