—01. 17-18 Dover Street.

Words

After almost 12 years at the current address, Dover Street Market has just unveiled the final window display at its original London location. The store closes on Thursday, March 10th and nine days later, on Saturday, March 19th, a new chapter in the retailer's history begins. Their next home, the old Burberry building at 18-22 Haymarket, is currently being transformed and glimpses of this process can be seen via the Dispatches section on the DSM London website. The images will create an interesting juxtaposition with the finished space in three weeks time, but for now it's great to see things taking shape.

Ganryu Nylon Bomber

—01. Polyester padding.

Words

This season is the first time that the Ganryu line from Comme des Garçons has been made available via Dover Street Market's E-Shop. The collection always features an interesting mix of fabrics and textures, while achieving a nice balance between challenging silhouettes and easy to wear pieces. This nylon bomber falls into the latter category, making it one of my top choices from the brand's latest offering.

Spalwart Special Mid

—01. Cotton canvas and rubber.

Words

There is such an abundance of white canvas sneakers available that unless you’re absolutely committed to wearing one style, choosing between them is very difficult. I've seen an array of Spalwart footwear as the brand's profile has risen over the last few seasons, but I don’t often come across this straightforward monochromatic mid model. Now that they’re firmly in my mind, it would be hard for me to consider other options as this pair offers everything one might want, right down to being produced with the original 1950s moulds and machinery.
