From DSQUARED2’s new twin zip duffle in turquoise texture calfskin to a 60 baguette-cut diamond case watch from Roger Dubuius, MOST WANTED (pg. 22) features the ten most desired items you must have this season. In FULL BLOOM (pg. 32) Model Sang Woo Kim shows that spring’s loudest looks from Yang Li, KRISVANASSCHE, Dries Van Noten, and Raf Simons play off proportions and athletic potential for an active take on better weather cool.

NEW ARRIVALS (pg. 52) showcases Calvin Klein Jeans’ new capsule collection, #mycalvins Denim Series, British audio brand Bloc & Roc’s two-year audio assemblage, Hedi Slimane’s creative collaboration with artists Arrington de Dionyso and the late Bruce Conner, Maserati’s new Alfieri 2+2 vehicle, Whistles x Stutterheim’s Stockholm raincoat, and more. As SCENE (pg. 52) explores, as the house lights dimmed and the bass began to jump during New York Fashion Week, February’s talk of the town was not so much of the runway, but rather what occurred in the wee hours after.

76 Reasons Dover Street Market NY is Going to be Awesome

dsmnyThere’s not much that can be said about Dover Street Market—or its founder, the reclusive Rei Kawakubo—that hasn’t already been tried to be pulled out like teeth by the sartorial elite. We could count the number of veiled interviews this year alone with our fingers—if we weren’t already rushing to flip through the rare pages—in which Kawakubo allowed for public comment. There was one with Suzy Munkes, a conversation with Style.com Matthew Schneier, a few brief words for System Magazine‘s second issue, and, for the most part, that was it. Bottom line is, she’s very mysterious.

Now, Kawakubo’s New York edition of Dover Street Market, a seven-story, 18,00 square foot store, opens tomorrow (Saturday, December 21) in perhaps one of Manhattan’s least-posh neighborhoods: Murray Hill (the irony!). There is talk of a Louis Vuitton pop-up shop on the first floor, a Parisian-inspired Rose Bakery on the mezzanine (similar to the store’s counterparts in Tokyo and London), and even a DSM x Prada exclusive collection. All of this, though, is just speculation. What we do know is that the store’s epic stock-list has everything from A.P.C. denim for the everyday to Paco Rabanne couture. See the list of the first 76-known brands that the store will carry below (we’re sure they’ll be more), and we’ll be sure to catch you at the opening.
