Black, White and Tall.
Dover Street Market Singapore (DSM) is the fourth DSM in the world, and the first in Southeast Asia. The three other stores are in the fashion capitals of Tokyo, New York and London, so we are in excellent company. The brainchild of Comme des Garcons' Rei Kawakubo and her husband Adrian Joffe, DSM Singapore spreads across 12,325 square feet, taking up most of Block 18 in Tanglin Village, Dempsey Hill. The 10ft-high ceilings literally elevate your shopping experience at the edgy multi-label concept store, where you feel like you're retail therapy-ing at a cool art exhibition space.
Exclusive designer labels in their own dedicated spaces.
The multi-label boutique has a selection of curated high fashion labels such as Gucci, Celine and Balenciaga as well as highly sought after streetwear brands such as Vetements, Gosha Rubchinskiy and K-pop Star G-Dragon’s apparel brand Peaceminusone. The individual labels are placed strategically across the space to bring out each brand’s uniqueness, style and design.
Like a cool photo studio...

Are you edgy enough to enter?
Comme des Garcons' Black, in a space which is totes aligned with DSM Singapore’s tall cage-like displays. Each label has its own space, designed with guidance from Kawakubo herself. At DSM New York, every level is reflective of the artistic direction of individual brands, with a multitude of colours and a splash of pop art. DSM Ginza boasts a large elephant statue indoors while DSM London has imaginative displays for the individual labels. DSM Singapore retains the beauty of each brand — Gucci has a pink, floral vintage spot while Balenciaga has a cool tent over its area.
