Multi-label boutique Dover Street Market Singapore just unveiled its revamped shop space for 2020. Amidst the mix of big-name brands (Balenciaga, Gucci), up-and-coming designer labels (Cecilie Bahnsen) and cult streetwear names (A-Cold-Wall*), you’ll find plenty of CNY-appropriate options to get your huat on.
Let’s take a look at the new space and collections!
No one will be able to miss you when you’re wearing this Gucci x DSM gold laminated hooded jacket. It sports a metallic gold finish and a drawstring hood for maximum comfort and maximum bling. The sleeves of the jacket have the signature interlocked G trim, for a (not-so) subtle flex. The jacket will set you back a cool $2,600.
If you’re going to be entertaining guests at home, you’ll be glad to know there are matching shorts ($1,200) so you can make it a set. Wear them together when playing a game of mahjong and let the luck come rolling in.
Hypebeasts and hypebaes who shudder at the thought of wearing basic red or florals, these metallic gold Nike Air Force 1 sneakers are for you. The sneakers look like they’ve been dipped in liquid gold, and even come with matching inner lining and laces.
Rose gold and silver options are available if you prefer cooler tones. Keep things simple on top and go all out below—we guarantee both the older folk and YPs will be equally impressed. The shoes retail for $229.
Besides footwear, the NikeLab space also stocks apparel and raved-about collabs with the likes of Off-White, Sacai and Undercover. Its new collab with Alyx founder and creative director Mathew M Williams, the Nike x MMW collection, will put a cool twist on your usual CNY outfits.
Looking for somewhere to store your red packets? The Nike x MMW chest rig will keep them and your ban luck winnings close to you at all times. It retails for $149.
Pair it with the matching red pants ($275) and you’ve got armour for the assault you’re about to endure from nosy relatives.
For those who might not be aware, Dover Street Market is a project by the founder of Comme des Garçon, Rei Kawakubo. It has stores in Singapore, as well as Beijing, New York City, Tokyo and Los Angeles. The founder and brand were the theme of the Met Gala back in 2017, which is when you might have seen celebrities and models such as Rihanna decked out in the avant-garde label.
These ruffled shirt dresses from Comme des Garçons are reminiscent of Victorian fashion, and make a statement while being completely wearable.
If your aesthetic is more ladylike and less street, these gold and silver Comme des Garçons Aoyama bags will fit the bill. There are different sizes and shapes available, from rectangular ones with a shorter strap to a doctor’s bag-style that you can carry on your shoulder.
No matter which design you choose, they’ll all be able to fit oranges, red packets, a water bottle and more, making them perfect for your CNY visiting.
Dover Street Market Singapore’s new collections and spaces will get you in the mood for the festive season. Post-CNY, you can continue to wear them whenever you need a dose of bling like on NYE. Or even a random day, just ’cause.
Check them out in store at 18 Dempsey Road or visit the Dover Street Market e-shop.
Better hair days ahead.
