DOVER STREET MARKET LOS ANGELES IS OPEN

Leave a reply

Dover Street Market Los Angeles is open for business.

“It’s really sad and somewhat annoying to read that the future of retail is online. Don’t get me wrong, our e-shops are doing incredibly well and are becoming a very important part of the business. But, ultimately, we’d like them to stay as a kind of service for people who are not near a Dover Street Market, or who need a reorder.

“DSM is a family, and a family that doesn’t meet and touch and talk and exchange is not a family that can grow and evolve in a healthy way.” — Adrian Joffe, Comme des Garçons CEO*

Dover Street Market, 606–608 Imperial Street, downtown Los Angeles.
