Dover Street Market
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
The Dover Street Market is a shop in which you won't be disappointed even if you buy nothing at all – no other shopping emporium on earth is anything like it. DSM is the brainchild of the inimitable Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo, famous for the Comme des Garçons label. It's rather like an extravagant five-storey marketplace under expert direction, offering everything from extremely expensive designer gear to a gem or two of mass market goods.
In 2016 DSM moved to a new home and thereby tripled its floor space. The new building is symbolic enough – it was built in 1912 by Thomas Burberry, the founder of Burberry.
Much of the historical details in the interior have been preserved, including the prominent stairs. Even though Kawakubo retained control over the general design, the other brands were allowed to design their own niches in the store. As a result, DSM has literally become a true market of ideas.
