Dover Street Market Store

Store
New York

At first sight, this store will amaze you so much that you will almost forget to shop. Conceptor and Director Rei Kawakubo (Comme de Garçons) describes his intentions for the store as follows “I want to create a kind of market where various creators from various fields gather together and encounter each other in an ongoing atmosphere of beautiful chaos: the mixing up and coming together of different kindred souls who all share a strong personal vision.” Art meets fashion on seven floors. The presentation of both melt in a stunning matter. This way, “fashion becomes fascinating”. The Market’s Beaux-Art building was built in 1908 by architect Harvey Wiley Corbett.

The felt covered column in the ground floor is very noticeable.
