I love The Dover Street Market. It is a department store and exhibition space like no other, as inspiring as any museum, created by Rei Kawakubo of the Japanese label Commes des Garcons and her husband Adrian Joffe. The store sells high fashion and streetwear brands, most unorthodox, very different to fashion stores fashions. Kawakubo has described Dover Street Market as ‘beautiful chaos.”
Top L-R : On Friday, August 5th, we were greeted by a tray with champagne and wine at the door, and on some floors … Gucci dress … Gucci shoes … Melitta Baumeister shoes.
Center : Bizzotto Gioielli W Jewelry had just arrived. The jewelry is all exquisite and beautiful.
Bottom L-R : Claire wearing Commes des Garcons … Black and white exhibition dresses by Commes des Garcons … Dress by Chopova Lowena … Christopher in Modluxeyewear Glasses.
Originally located on Dover Street in Mayfair, London, now in New York City (160 Lexington, entrance on 30th Street) as well as Tokyo, Singapore, Beijing and Los Angeles
