Abstract
- The article discusses the opening of the new Dover Street Market in Paris, which features unique architecture by Rei Kawakubo and a diverse range of merchandise. The store breaks traditional retail norms by hiding merchandise behind curved walls and leaving half of the sales floor empty. The design of the store includes elliptical rooms, galvanized steel fixtures, and vibrant colors. The Paris branch upholds the store's founding ethos of "beautiful chaos" and offers a mix of Comme des Garçons lines and other brands. The location also includes a Rose Bakery, a bookshop, and a basement level dedicated to young designer collections. The building is mixed-use, containing offices, showrooms, and non-commercial spaces for events. The article highlights the innovative and boundary-pushing approach of Rei Kawakubo and her commitment to creating unique retail environments. [Extracted from the article]
