I am obsessed with this dress and I am now officially obsessed with Margot Robbie. Can you believe this dress is Oscar de la Renta? I am so used to his gorgeous, structured, mermaid silhouettes and big voluminous skirts. But this silhouette is so modern, cutting edge that I wouldn't have thought it was an Oscar de la Renta. I bow down to the man who can design something this unique as well as his unbelievably classic gowns.

In February 2014, the New Museum will host the first solo museum presentation in the United States of the work of artist Laure Prouvost, featuring a new, immersive installation for the New Museum's Lobby Gallery. In her films and installations, Prouvost unhinges commonplace and expected connections between language, image, and perception. Stepping away from traditional linear narratives, she exposes the unstable relationship between imagination and reality, and opens up a space where audiences can engage provocatively with surreal aspects of meaning. In her films, she often addresses viewers directly, manipulating their senses through a barrage of fast-paced moving images, directive texts, and interspersed clips of sound to achieve a physical experience. In recent works such as The Artist (2010), Farfromwords (2013), and Wantee (2013), which won her the 2013 Turner Prize, Prouvost expands the scope of her disorienting and whimsical modes of display, creating all-encompassing environments that interweave elements of sculpture, painting, and drawing amongst her films.
