Dover Street Market was created by Rei Kawakubo of Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons and her husband Adrian Joffe.

[3] Dover Street Market is a retailer that mainly sells high fashion products, but also features items from more urban, streetwear brands.

[4] The aesthetic direction that Kawakubo and Joffe had in mind was a very unorthodox approach compared to how usual high department stores looked like.

Dover Street Market has worked on a wide variety of collaborations from various streetwear and high fashion brands.

Of the 60 brands partaking in the collaboration, some of the more notable ones consist of A Bathing Ape, Anti Social Social Club, Bottega Veneta, Comme des Garçons, Kaws, Lacoste, Nike, Palace, sacai, Stüssy, The North Face, Undercover, and Vans.
