With DIEM 2014 right around the corner, we asked a few of the inspirational minds getting involved with the event to takeover the West Hollywood Design District Instagram each week. Thanks to this fun collaboration, our followers get an exclusive look into what the District has to offer, through the very eyes of its creative influencers. So get excited for DIEM taking place November 14, 2014–where you’ll get to experience all of what’s been captured here, and more.
