Japanese fashion brand Comme des Garçons has relocated the London branch of its Dover Street Market store to a heritage-listed building on the city's Haymarket (+ slideshow).
The new Dover Street Market store is located at 18-22 Haymarket inside a Grade II-listed building erected by Burberry founder Thomas Burberry in 1912.
Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo has designed the interior of the new store
Similarly to its original location on Dover Street, the overall interior has been conceived by Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo. However, all the represented brands with dedicated spaces were given the freedom to design them as they saw fit.
Kawakubo was keen to "embrace and enhance" the building's original features, and as a result the exterior, original ceilings, windows, and central staircase remain untouched. Comme des Garc?ons' Homme Plus label will have a permanent space, which was constructed from reclaimed shipping containers.
"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," she said.
