Situated in Saint Paul, Minnesota and spanning two floors of gorgeousness, IDUN (pronounced Eden and named after the Norse goddess of youth) was opened in 2014 by Dahlia Brue. With the desire to introduce the public to emerging labels, she carefully selects under-the-radar designers with a timeless appeal and unique POV. Her intention is straightforward: to build a community of women while helping them define their own sense of style through discovery and reinvention. In the short time since its launch, this boutique has become a go-to destination for luxurious pieces and unusual wares from new and established designers.

Feminine, not feminist, is usually the way fashion is described. But for Brooklyn-based emerging designer Suzanne Rae, the two are inextricably linked. Designing for the progressive, modern woman, her minimalist and sophisticated pieces are the strong and delicate all at the same time.
