“I love the volition that Comme des Garçons has, with no limits attached and I think that is what the industry needs: The idea that as much as the clothing is important, all other emotion’s effects in shopping and clothing are important”. When the first Dover Street Market department store was opened in London, everything that was amazing, was there. Rei Kawabuko, the designer of Comme des Garcons and visionaire of DSM just opened the new space in New York. The old building on Lexington Avenue is dramatically changed by imagination of Rei- every pop-up space has it’s own designer, with it’s very own feeling… The Thom Browne place looks like a stationary staffroom from an office. Prada looks like taken from fairy tale story. Fresh designers like Simone Rocha and Jacquemus have their mini boutiques, build the way the designers wanted. Rei Kawabuko gives opportunities for young designers, by creating the culture of Dover Street Market.

As the Resort 2014 approaches in huge steps to on-line stores and boutiques, it’s the best time to have a first peek at what will be the hottest of all. Definitely, this Resort season feels very simple and minimalistic- lots of loose trousers, straight cutted jackets and comfortable trenches are visible in the look-books. Certainly the most beautiful collections are by Derek Lam, Givenchy and Celine- they the ones that will be best sellers this time. Remembering about the Spring spirit, give your total look a strong dose of pink- just like at Alexander Wang and Kenzo! And if thinking of accessories… certainly, again, Celine rules, with it’s beige leather birkenstocks and ne cabas bags! So, lets forget of Winter, and unpatiently wait on Spring!
