Fodor's Expert Review Dover Street Market

With its creative displays and eclectic, well-chosen mix of merchandise, this four-floor emporium is as much art installation as store. The merchandise and its configuration change every six months, so you never know what you will find, which is half the fun. The creation of Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo, Dover Street Market showcases all the label's collections for men and women alongside a changing roster of other ultrafashionable designers, including Gucci, Raf Simons, Balenciaga, Loewe, Wales Bonner, and Molly Goddard, all of whom have had their own customized miniboutiques—plus sneaker and denim collaborations, eyeglass frames, and jewelry. An outpost of Rose Bakery on the top floor makes for a good break.
